World Chess Championship Magnus Carlsen V Sergey Karjakin by Nobody: 11:18pm On Nov 23, 2016 |
Is anyone else following the games? Man, this will be the biggest upset since Trump beat Clinton . I honestly thought Carlsen was going to defend his title but he hasn't been playing so great. . . Karjakin is currently leading 4.5 - 3.5 with just four games to go. Four games including game 9 that's currently being played. There's a peculiar position and I'm still wondering why Karjakin missed Ba4! I put the moves into two different engines and that was what they both played. Its a pretty obvious move. My guess is that Karjakin is trying to hold on to his bishop pair. But still, Ba4 was a cruise to victory in both engines for white.

After this there are three games left. Magnus Carlsen only has 8 minutes left on his clock and he is in a losing position |
Re: World Chess Championship Magnus Carlsen V Sergey Karjakin by Nobody: 11:28pm On Nov 23, 2016 |
Current game position. This looks like another win for Karjakin, making it 5.5 - 3.5. . . I doubt if Carlsen can win the remaining three games.

*modified I forgot that they were at move 38, both teams get a 50 minute increment by move 40 and a 15 minute increment by move 60. Karjakin has spent 16 minutes+ and hasn't still made his 39th move, probably force Carlsen to spend time responding. . . and probably make a blunder. . . |

This is the same Sergey Karjakin that demolished a player from the Nigerian team at the World Chess Olympiad last two months. |

NB: according to the statistics of high level matches, Carlsen's opening choice has never favored black. I wonder why he chose it? |

(42 Bc3+ Kf8 43 Bxa1 Nxh4+ 44 Qxh4 Qxd5 45 Qf6+ Qf7 46 Qd4 Ke8) Surprisingly enough, this game could turn out to be a draw. A queen exchange would be a draw as Karjakin's pawns on the f-file are doubled

Carlsen desperate for that Queen exchange. Lol. 47 Qe4+ Qe7 |

They agreed on a draw. The score is 5 - 4 in favor of Sergey Karjakin with 3 games to go |

Carlsen should be more like fischer, 12 games is way too short he should have demanded 20+. Now even tho he is the better player he looks set to lose his title. |
Re: World Chess Championship Magnus Carlsen V Sergey Karjakin by Nobody: 12:18pm On Nov 24, 2016 |
Richirich713:Yes. . .and Carlsen isn't eve playing his best, Karjakin has been outperforming him. Carlsen was even lucky to find a draw in this game |
Re: World Chess Championship Magnus Carlsen V Sergey Karjakin by Nobody: 1:33am On Nov 26, 2016 |
Sergey Karjakin loses game 10 to a very strong Magnus Carlsen leaving the scores at 5 - 5 |

Richirich713:As in, I feel so bad for him. He should've never gone into tiebreaks, he should've just finished game 12 |

AnonyNymous: Yeah that's pretty sad for karjakin, he was so close to winning the title, he could have even made it 2 up in game 9. 1 Like |
