Nevertheless Carlsen had the black pieces in that game so a draw isn't a bad result.

But I guess he must be angry with himself after throwing some good chances to win it lol.

He must be furious. He made a big mistake.

Game 2

Again it ended in a draw

It's not as easy as predicted for Carlsen πŸ˜„




I was surprised to see how quickly the players exchanged queens and brought kings into play. Also just learned that Game 1 was the second longest in a world championship, lasting 7 hrs. I can understand the pressure to be excruciatingly careful in each move for that prize money, as well as the title of victor. I can't imagine deliberating a move for 17 minutes. Excited to see what happens during today's game.

Lol me to πŸ˜„

That's why I like to play Rapid/Blitz games where the time format is shorter πŸ˜„

Oh btw you won't find checkmates in games between super grandmasters as they would rather resign earlier if they think they're losing and nothing can be done to prevent that. Unless it's a Blitz games πŸ˜„

At least I learned this and saved for future reference. 😊

Always interesting to see possible sequences demonstrated and flaws identified. Useful to know that when a useless bishop is saved with only pawns and kings remaining, draw can become necessary.

Not sure why Caruana insisted with the Rosolimo attack for twice in a row. Which is rare in WCC.

Maybe he's playing psychological with Carlsen showing that he's not afraid to repeat lines πŸ˜„

Stalemate like that could happen under these three circumstances:

-the pawn is a rook pawn (a or h file)

-the Enemy's king is able to reach the queening square and three squares around it

-the queening square for the pawn is in the opposite color of the bishop (the bishop won't be able to kick out enemy's king from that square)

Anyway; I just checked game 4 and I discovered there's a live commentary from Chess 24



https://worldchess.com/tournament/11/pairing/22373?event=5&tour=123

Looks like Carlsen has played the English opening (c4) instead of his usual (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3)

Image Not Found

perhaps to prevent Fabi from playing 2. Nf6

Image Not Found

given how comfortable Caruana is playing the Petroff defence?


Caruana won three games in Candidates by playing Petroff defense.

I'm sure Carlsen would have expected that he will play with it at least once.

I don't watch the game live as I couldn't watch it full but Carlsen likes to play with English or London system so I dont think it's a surprise there.

Apparently a Fabiano’s fan posted a video that by mistake showed the players that he was training with. The video got deleted straight away πŸ˜„

Fake news or the biggest mistake in chess history? πŸ˜‰


Haha I think it's fake but I'm not sure πŸ˜„

No, actually it’s true. I have seen few interviews about it on tv now πŸ˜„


Well Caruana is definitely prepared then πŸ˜„

Actually the opposite. He may have had to throw away the game that he was planning for today πŸ˜„


They're playing right now πŸ˜„ I can stream it on chess24 but I won't do that as it won't be finished anytime soon πŸ˜„

I am watching it on tv right now 😜 They play at this time every day πŸ˜„

Probably not πŸ˜…




Brag πŸ˜œπŸ˜„

Not bragging just the truth

Game 5

Again for the 3rd time Carlsen replied with Sicilian defense to Caruana's e4 then Caruana continued with Rosolimo attack.

No surprise the game ended in a draw.



Let hope today’s is better.

I will take a picture for you today if I can without spoiling it 😜

Kept somewhat of an eye on today's game here:

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/live/2018/nov/18/magnus-carlsen-v-fabiano-caruana-world-chess-championship-game-7-live

Recap:




Most people predict that Carlsen will win the match easily πŸ˜„

It's already Game 7 and the score is still tied with no losses.

Caruana has proved that he's indeed strong. After all he's currently the second highest rated GM in the world just behind Carlsen.

He's very underrated for this match imo.

Oh and I enjoyed Jerry's channel more than Agadmator's for this WCC πŸ˜„

My dude Caruana will win. The world chess championship is coming home πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ lol

So each player has had a game apiece where they had a good opportunity to win a game but weren’t able to get it done right? I’ve also heard that if it goes to a tiebreaker, Carlsen will have the advantage. If that’s true (which I have no idea lol) would Carlsen maybe be playing somewhat cautious and be fine with going to the tiebreaker? Obviously he’d rather win before that, but maybe he’s also hoping Caruana gets too aggressive to try and win a game as the games get near the end and will try to take advantage of that. But tbh I’m not that knowledgeable about chess and am just spitballing lol


First 12 games will be played in Classical time format. They're currently playing Game 8 now I believe.

If there's still no winner after Game 12 (both are 6 points each), then the game will continue in Rapid format (I think there will be 4 games lol not sure).

Rapid is faster than Classical (20 or 25 minutes per game if I'm not mistaken).

Caruana is known for "not good" at Rapid. He's not even in the top 20 GM imo. So he must avoid going to Rapid at all costs.
