"At the time of his default, Carlsen had scored 5/8 and was a point and a half behind the leaders, with little chance of retaining his title."

EDIT: I find it hilarious that this is downvoted. It's incredibly cogent to the point. If Magnus was leading the event I guarantee he wouldn't have pursued this distraction.

I’ve see Magnus come back from behind before. A lot.

He’s been fed up with FIDE for a while if you’ve been paying attention. There’s a lot more to this than just his pants.
