Magnus Carlsen had 2986 in blitz at one point...
Yeah, he had that Champion's Showdown match vs Ding Liren (2017 Saint Louis) to get to those 3000 elo.
To make up two losses he had to win 3 times. Difference between drawing and losing was like six times elo loss.
Magnus did take two losses, which is -24 elo, if he had drawn those games, that would have been -4 elo only, and his rating would hit 3006 Fide elo...
