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.

He cannot loose πŸ˜‚

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.

Game 8

Again Caruana couldn't capitalized his advantages.



What do you think about how Carlsen saved his game? 😜


He was just lucky 😜

Or really really good 😜

Hahahaha, you are so bad 😈😘

Probably I'm only rated like 1900s πŸ˜„ but I can do better if I have that Caruana middlegame position even if it against Carlsen πŸ˜„πŸ˜˜

It's interesting cause this time Carlsen's queen was deep into Caruana's territory πŸ˜„

And there's mating threats in one or two moves πŸ˜„

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

Go Caruana πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ


Have a hunch that Carlsen will win Game 11 πŸ˜„


With your intuitive chart, I bet your hunch proves correct.. excited to find out πŸ˜„

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.

I wonder what happens if at 19. instead of Bxf3 we have Qxf3


No one mentioned about that variation πŸ˜„ but it creates a queen-bishop battery to Caruana's queenside.

What your engine say about it? Lol

Says it's thought provoking / time consuming but in the end not very concerning if black doesn't panic and goes from

a position that looks scary on paper but it's really not after black plays Qa4 and it's basically a draw πŸ˜„

β€œI wasn’t 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.” Carlsen


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

We will see 😘. I am looking forward to that

Game 12 is a draw. Psyched for Wednesday. 😁


I think they will play that four games in just one day isn't it?


From theguardian.com:

"Carlsen will play with the white pieces in the first game of Wednesday’s rapid play-off after the drawing of lots is conducted. Here’s 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 β€˜Armegeddon’ 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."

😊 󾓦
