Snippet:
World No 1 Magnus Carlsen lost to the US veteran Levon Aronian in last Friday’s final of the Freestyle Grand Slam in Cape Town, but still finished as the overall winner of the five-event Tour. Carlsen had already won two finals, so only needed to finish fourth in Cape Town for a winning total.
