He is a nice guy. He is also so unfortunate T_T He had Carlsen on the ropes both in Norway Chess and Rapid tournament yesterday and all he got was one loss and one draw. But his endgame skills are second to none.

Anand lost K+R+B vs K+R ending vs Kryvoruchko, all due to big blunder. And Nakamura played quite badly, to be honest, but his lower-rated opponent played even worse, so he won a scrappy game. I wonder if he can confirm his blitz reputation here?

Nah, I still think Aronian's endings are better. The problem is that Carlsen has the best middlegame skills in the world, and "Before the endgame the gods have placed the middlegame."

Naka was winning, but he missed the trick with "crazy Rook", trying desperately to lure his King to f-file, after which Black pawn would Queen with check. He was so eager to fight for the win that he finally allowed Black's promotion just to stop drawing mechanism, then blundered one more time, losing Rook to the fork, promoted a Knight (!) and ended up in bizzare ending with 2N+P+K vs Q+K. I think it was still losing position for him, but Savchenko made an illegal move by going into check, which in blitz is an immediate loss (providing your opponent notices it).

Could you elaborate on that? What exactly is illegal? To put your own king into check?

Ok that seemed obvious so I just wanted to make sure. But yeah, I didn't know there was a rule difference between classical and blitz in that respect.
