Other highlights

Page 5 - Half-Paddle: Undisputed win by Carlsen
One of the most interesting events so far this year was held in Romania, the fourth edition of the Tournament of Kings that reached the very high XX Category of FIDE, (2742) with the participation of 6 grandmasters of which only one, the local Nisipeanu, with its 2672 Elo points, was below 2700. The other five who fought hard, on a double lap, were Radjabov, Gelfand, Wang Yue, Ponomariov and Magnus Carlsen!
