Magnus Carlsen is human, after all. This much we know after Fabiano Caruana beat him last night in the 4th round of the Gashimov Memorial Tournament in Shamkir, Azerbaijan. It was Carlsens first loss under classical time controls since he wrested the world championship last year from Vishy Anand. And Caruana won in a style more associated with Carlsens brand of play. What happened last night should be good news to Anand, who is watching the tournament from a distance with keen interest. Although one loss does not make a trend by itself, the fact that Carlsen can be beaten with measured and precise play will give Anand more confidence that the world championship rematch in November will be more competitive.
