In a recent game (maybe a week ago?), Niemann made a blunder that a computer wouldn't have made. Apologies - lost the link.

In his second-last game of the day, Niemann missed a mate in 3 and drew. He then lost his final game.

King Magnus lost to someone close to 400 points below him.

Did the offender get thrown to the floor and gone over good with a wand?

He lost to Artemiev, who is only 107 elo below him in Rapid (this was a Rapid event), and 158 below him in Classical. Where did you get 400 elo? Perhaps referring to some much older event, but this thread is about the Rapid and blitz current event.

M.Carlsen won. This is not the first time and probably not the last. I guess there is no great surprise here....

It is worth noting the excellent performance of the young Grandmaster from Germany Vincent Keymer, who took second place

Thanks for double checking that - I went back to Chessbase to check...sorting again by player and I see, you are right of course, the game just before Carlsen starts, is actually a game Tomashevsky - Burmakin (2498) - not Carlsen - Burmakin...and worse yet, Burmakin even lost!

Artimiev is 400 ELO points weaker than Carlsen???? You make it sound like that guy is an unknown chess player ??!!! Artimiev is probably one of the top 5 Blitz players on earth and one of the most feared GM's online ... I mean really! Also MC was not using an engine and as a human he did blunder a piece in a superior position. Most likely he tried to take advantage of his opponents little time left. Unfortunately humans ... even the strongest chess players on earth ... can do that once in a while. In the end even with that blunder MC won the tournament ... it is not the first tournament he wins and most likely not the last ... so get used to it. If anything this tournament has shown that Hans Nieman is definetly not the strongest player in the history of chess and without engine help ... well he is just another GM around 2600 ELO of which there are hundreds. How people still support that piece of cheating crap is beyond me. Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru, Nepo, Caruana, So, Abdusatarov etc... these guys are there real deal ... Hans Nieman is not ... at least not without a little "fishy" help.

Artemiev, who is only 107 elo below him in Rapid (this was a Rapid event), and 158 below him in Classical.

This question is a little off topic: I think you have previously given your estimates for the elo loss (of a "typical"* grandmaster) going from Classical to Rapid, and from Rapid to Blitz; can you repeat them here? I mean, of course, the strength of the moves (e.g. if two equal players play each other, one with Classical time control, the other with Rapid, what is the elo difference with that time handicap, etc.?).

[* e.g. Magnus is not "typical"; his drop-off in quality with shrinking time is smaller than the normal GM.]
