Very gripping game. 7 hrs 45 mins and 136 moves. It might have helped both if there was a rest day tomorrow, but I think the next one is Monday.

That is where your ignorance to the game of chess is prevalent.

Nepo had to win first imo for him to have any chance. Hi here will no doubt be a shit load of draws unless Nepo gets careless trying to enforce a win and Magnus gets another positive result.
