Magnus Carlsen loses 4 games in a row in the world rapid team championship!! In this post i analyze the games and the reasons of why he is having this bad results

After a very bad performance in the Norway Chess losing 3 classical games Magnus cames to the Rapid and Blitz teams world championship with the very very strong WR team where Caruana Vachier Duda So Kosteniuk and Goryachkina are his teammates, looks than anything can goes wrong with that line up, but...

First Lost

The day 1 was fine for Magnus with 2.5/3 but his team loses the second round, so they needed to come back in the second day, and after a draw vs Artemiev enought to win the match, they faced the Indian team.
