Tal Chess R8: Tomashevsky Does a Clark Kent against Carlsen!

Clark Tomashevsky Kent to Carlsen: Throw what you can Mr Magnus
An interesting draw was the highlight of Round 8 at the Tal Chess Memorial. Last seed Evgeny Tomashevsky was up against top seed and World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen. But, Tomashevsky was in full form. He handled absolutely everything Carlsen threw at him like the Man of Steel. Carlsen’s missiles went thud, as Tomashevsky held his ground for a frustrating draw – frustrating for the Mozart of Chess that is. Enjoy the game.
Carlsen,M (2835) – Tomashevsky,E (2738)

it’s funny just over in kazan bottom seed betul beats tops seed hou yifan and here in tal memorial bottom seed holds top seed. and the other day both top seeds leaders lose. chess is quite exciting.
one second isn’t that a win for carlsen?
Hi I just read on chessblog.com that carlsen has actually won the tournament! That’s amazing with a last round win and he had so many draws in the event. Congrats to Magnus Carlsen.
