Magnus Carlsen's Day 1 of the World Blitz Championship

I've been going through the games of the World Blitz Championship - as in all of them(!) - and will present a selection over the course of three posts. In this post, we'll have a look at Carlsen's games from day 1. His score wasn't very good, and it could easily have been worse, as you can see here. Next up, we'll have a look at his games from the second day, when his results were fantastic, and in the third post we'll take a look at selected highlights from the remaining games.
