The premiere performance of Magnus Carlsen in the status of a former world champion turned out to be very spectacular. The outstanding Norwegian grandmaster, who voluntarily parted with the title of world champion, which went to the Chinese Ding Liren in April, played disgustingly in the first half of the supertournament in Warsaw, and in the second, smashing elite opponents one after another in a blitz, easily gobbled up a huge backlog from the Pole Jan-Krzysztof Duda and took the usual first place.
