Draws aren't included in these statistics
First of all, we can say that there is no Nakamura-Carlsen rivalry OTB. There are only 3 players that have defeated Carlsen more than once since he has become world champion AND that have been in the top 5 : MVL (He won twice, and he is the only man that have defeated Carlsen twice a row), Caruana (he won 5 times) and Aronian (he won 6 times against the GOAT). As you can see, the number of games against younger players (Nodirbek, Erigaisi, Gukesh and Pragg) is really low, so we can't really affirm that these stats are significant.
Edit: Anand has also won 2 times against Magnus after he became world champion.
Помимо четырёх известных книг о Карлсене на русском языке - Михальчишина, Стецко; Барлова, Берналя, Васкеса, Ромеро, Со; Калиниченко и Зенона Франко в 2 томах, ко мне попала любопытная книга о ранних этапах карьеры Магнуса, написанная его тренером Сименом Агдестейном:
Wonderboy: How Magnus Carlsen Became the Youngest Chess Grandmaster in the World. The Story and the Games. New in Chess, 2004, 192 pages.
В ней рассмотрены соревнования с 1999 по 2004 гг. и приведено множество прокомментированных автором партий.
