Levy Rozman, aka GothamChess, publishes a video on Carlsen’s game vs Arjun Erigaisi. GothamChess says, “Today, Magnus Carlsen in a tournament in his home country, Norway, played one of his best games of the year. Nearly 100% accurate, and as far as I am concerned a 100% accurate.”
Only a month ago Carlsen achieved a perfect 9,0/9 at Grenke Freestyle and set a performance record. The rampage of Carlsen became clear after he started with 5,0/5. His CPR (a measurement more reliable than TPR, read about it here) then jumped over 3000. He then continued with 7,0/7 on Easter bringing the CPR to 3094. With 8,0/8 he reached 3122 CPR. With the victory against Keymer in the last round, Carlsen completes the event with 9,0/9 and CPR of 3153! That is the highest mark of modern history, passing the performance of Caruana in Sinquefield Cup 2014.
