Post-summary.  Danish being understandable to Norweigian speakers, provocative
shakespearean cliche "something rotten in Denmark" could apply to Magnus
Carlsen.  For disappointingly, he reads not, http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/magnuscarl484959.html, unlike the 19
other learned Chess Champs since 1886.  Those include mathematician Dr.
Lasker who coached friend Einstein on relativity formulas.

He, Carlsen, emulates not, http://en.chessbase.com/post/magnus-carlsen-on-his-che-career, contemporary GM Nunn's erudition in astronomy.  In another letdown, he aspires not to match up with Computers, http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/magnuscarl484936.html, the way Kasparov did Deep Blue in the nineties and whilst CVPage work points to some rules-design concepts that are computer-unfriendly. 

Thus consensual mediocrity in the 3-win Chennai, India, match befits stand-pat 'Time' cover publicity of this day, being predictable, thanks  to Capablancan neat and clean precedent: http://img.timeinc.net/time/magazine/archive/covers/1925/1101251207_400.jpg.
Those inter-Euro-war 1920s  also saw starting of F.I.D.E. and promulgation Capablanca Chess, http://www.chessvariants.org/large.dir/capablanca.html.
