16th World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen came back to success dominating the first three days of the 2017 Paris Grand Chess Tour to win the rapid event with the astonishing score of 14/18 points. Sincerely speaking, the format of such kind of tournaments doesn’t make me crazy of joy, and I don’t like the elitism none too much neither, but of course Carlsen alone is worth looking at, such as when he quite provokingly answered a question from Grandmaster Maurice Ashley with another question (“What do you want from me?”), or when he unveiled his secret of survival (with Black) in an invisible “inner 王玥 (Wáng Yuè)”.
