Another draw it seems.
Most of the last hour carlsen seemed to be pushing for an advantage.
One miss step with his king and that was the end of that.

Opposite side castling for the first time might bring some drama.

Rapids it is then.
Commentary seemed surprised carlsen offered the draw.
Clearly he fancies his chances in the rapids.

Kasparov thinks carlsens nerve has gone.
Find out this afternoon.

Was always a pawn up I guess.
General rule says if your ahead trade pieces.

At least we finally got an exciting looking move.
Caruana is fucked though it seems

Shame nakamura was too busy talking about kasparov in 2000 for them to follow the game

Been watching some YouTube videos with the games played back against carlsen using the most powerful engines.
He didn't do very well.

Some truly fucked up openings from carlsen in an online bullet tournamant I see.
