Wijk aan Zee (Tata Steel)
So, after 3 rounds in the Wijk aan Zee, Carlsen is tied at 9th with 4 players (drew with Giri, So, and lost to Wojtaszek after a shocking blunder dropping a piece).
Caruana and Ivanchuk tied for first with 2.5 points.
Carlsen's (live) rating is now at its lowest in the past two and a half years (2852).
With 11 rounds to go still time for him to make amends though. Will be interesting to see how he reacts in the next round with Black against van Wely (rated 2667).
