My dude Caruana will win. The world chess championship is coming home πΊπΈ lol
So each player has had a game apiece where they had a good opportunity to win a game but werenβt able to get it done right? Iβve also heard that if it goes to a tiebreaker, Carlsen will have the advantage. If thatβs true (which I have no idea lol) would Carlsen maybe be playing somewhat cautious and be fine with going to the tiebreaker? Obviously heβd rather win before that, but maybe heβs 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 Iβm 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.
I think Carlsen is waiting for that π

Carlsen should have led by at least 1.5 points by now π his fans are starting to doubt him π

He cannot loose π
I heard an interview saying that it is extremely difficult to motivate him if he loose, because he never does and he takes it very very badly.

No one mentioned about that variation π but it creates a queen-bishop battery to Caruana's queenside.
What your engine say about it? Lol
βI felt that it was very close tonight. The problem is if I donβt mate Iβm losing. So I was trying to find some middle ground and my time was running out. I donβt know. I was just so nervous, I couldnβt make it happen. It ended up just being nothing.β β Magnus Carlsen

Game 10 another draw. So eager to see if the score is tied following the next 2 games and we see a tie-break game on the 28th

It's interesting cause this time Carlsen's queen was deep into Caruana's territory π
And there's mating threats in one or two moves π

Hehe I think he will push for a win as it will be his last game playing white.
He could play it safe tho but I don't think he could as he'd be embarrassed with himself if the match continued into Rapid format.

Says it's thought provoking / time consuming but in the end not very concerning if black doesn't panic and goes from
to this
a position that looks scary on paper but it's really not after black plays Qa4 and it's basically a draw π
Perhaps e3 from white should be postponed though. Attacking the diagonal immediately looks more pressing IMO

1.5 margin was their biggest gap so far. Very even match.
βI wasnβt pleased from the opening and then after that I just wanted to play it safe. I was trying to push a little bit, but it was nothing real. In this match situation I thought there was no reason to go crazy.β Carlsen

Yep he was played really safe. He's really confident that he will win in Rapid π

They kept going; but from what I read, none in the circuit is allowed to have access to it.

From theguardian.com:
"Carlsen will play with the white pieces in the first game of Wednesdayβs rapid play-off after the drawing of lots is conducted. Hereβs a look at the format:
β’ Best of four rapid games with 25 minutes for each player with an increment of 10 seconds after each move.
β’ If still tied, they will play up to five mini-matches of two blitz games (five minutes for each player with a three-second increment).
β’ If all five mini-matches are drawn, one sudden-death βArmegeddonβ match will be played where White receives five minutes and Black receives four minutes. Both players will receive a three-second increment after the 60th move. In the case of a draw, Black will be declared the winner."

Damn, that is crazy. I never expected that. I read the posts. Wednesday is gonna be amazing. I don't think any of them will hold back.
A Rapid game between Carlsen and Caruana.
Caruana resigned as his rook is trapped.
Carlsen is one of the strongest in faster time control while Caruana is just an "average" super grandmaster on that.
