Anand getting wrecked in the blitz
Wouldn't that be stunning if Magnus won the blitz also? All that would remain is to get the #1 rating in rapid (he's #2, down only 2 points behind Caruana) & make sure he has the #1 rating in blitz also. He should have the #1 live blitz rating right now (he got 40 points from winning the Norway blitz).

He is currently #1 blitz clearly at 2914 http://www.2700chess.com/
He is leading the tournament at 8/10. Surprisingly he was defeated by that chinese player Lu Shanglei who is tied for second.
