The Caruana Express Two historical facts characterized what has been called the strongest tournament ever - and it actually was, rating-wise: a 22 year old from Brooklyn not only finished undefeated, but scored an impressive +7 out of 10 rounds.

Back then Carlsen was younger than Caruana, and it was the true break through that projected the Norwegian...Full StoryAdded on 07.30.2014
