Magnus ends up scoring 8/13 finishing second in the tournament. Wesley So becomes third with 9 straight draws in the tournament. Whilst Fabi is still playing GM Artemiev with black pieces which seems like he is winning this game.
Carlsen says, Caruana's performance reminds him of his year 2013, where he had the best performance in the same event, later on, he ended on winning candidates. In his R13 Tata steel chess post-game interview with TV 2, he left the question to play 2020 world championship match hanging n the air, and it's clear he will not yet commit to anything, at least not until all the details, such as venue are unknown. If Magnus does not play world championship match, he will lose his title of world champion.
