  I am confused about the result of the Grenke Chess Classics 2015.
  
  At the one hand, Magnus Carlsen won 3 games and Arkadij Naiditsch only 2, so due to
  the tiebreaker-rule, Carlsen should have won the tournament.
  
  But then I noticed that 5 tie break games were added.
  
  What is true and who won the tournament ?

  Carlsen won the tie-break (and the tournament).
  
  Quite dramatically, after trading wins in the rapid and draws in the blitz games, with a win in the armageddon game.
  
  The tie-break rules were only used to sort out the places apart from the first place.
