He was top 5 at some point, he's just a bit too old now to compete with magnus and mvl consistantly.

4:38 Well, Grandelius said in his post-match interview that MVL considered playing Nh5 in that position (they spoke briefly after the game) - but that MVL felt it looked too dangerous with his king still stuck in the centre. Grandelius also said that IF MVL had played Nh5, Nils would not have gone for a draw by repetition. He would have instead continued attacking and asking questions of MVL, though if MVL defended correctly it would have eventually become a draw.

After 5 rounds, Nils has sole possession of first place. Not only that, he has THREE wins, which is TWO MORE than anyone else. How impressive is this accomplishment? Well, most of the field (8 out of 14) still haven't got their FIRST win. He stands a very good chance of ending this tournament at 2700+.
