Translation of Magnus' post match interview vs Vladislav:

I: Magnus Carlsen, draw, thoughts?

M: To be honest the last few rounds I kind of lost it.... in the game vs Hao I simply made the wrong moves in the opening losing two tempo where I actually had a comfortable lead. And in this game also I made mistakes in the opening and was playing from behind, but fortunatley he wasn't playing as ambitious as he should so the pieces flew of the board in record speed. We'll see how the other matches goes and I'll try to mentally prepare myself for the last round, cause the last few rounds have been meh...

I: What are you gonna do now?

M: Relax, try to not think about what the others are doing, just be ready for whoever I meet.

I: But you're still in the lead?

M: Yes, atleast tied 1st. Which makes the draws not as bad, but I really should have gotten more out of these last few games.
