Magnus Carlsen has entered the last classic game of the
The 2018 World Chess Championship determined to force the decisive game against Fabiano
Caruana on Wednesday, and he got what he wanted, but at what cost? Its draw
to offer on movement 31, in a better position with more time, shocked the world of chess.
Anish Giri said, "When his life is at stake, suddenly, he is no longer Magnus

Whatever happens now, Magnus Carlsen will emerge from the
World Championship Match as the No. 1, and quick chess and blitz on
Wednesday, he must always be the big favorite against Fabiano Caruana.
Nevertheless, even if everything goes as planned, match 12 of the match in London
can take a long time to live. Peter Svidler takes us through a game that could
be explained in terms of match situation:
Magnus had played a quick draw with the white
coins against Sergey Karjakin in New York to take this match tied, and
there was no reason to think that he would have a problem with a similar result with
the black pieces in London. He almost got what he wanted.
The game started with the Sicilian Sveshnikov, but in contrast
to the previous two games in the match Magnus went for the 2nd most popular
move 8 … Ne7 instead of 8 … Nb8. Per shot
There was already a silent draw offer on the table, but Caruana asked 12.h4, as Vladimir
Kramnik had against Serbian Milos Roganovic at the recent Batumi Olympiad.
Vlad won this match, but he then confided to Anish Giri that the opening of his opponent
to play had been good. That's where things deviated, however, like Magnus
not answered with 12 … but a6 12 … h5:
Fabiano spent 9 minutes thinking, getting the almost daily description of Alexander Grischuk during the match:
miserable preparation by White. "The movement was played in a high

We have never been able to know if Magnus would have answered the question.
obvious 13.Bg5 with the 13 … Qb8 !? of Stockfish, since Fabiano has finally opted for 13.Qa4, and after 13 … Bd7 14.Qb4 Bf5 there was still a draw by repeating 3 times for the
jack:
While Fabiano wondered if he should accept a draw, after being surprised at the opening, Anish Giri did not fear the opportunities.
to draw himself, felt that this could be a mistake:
"Bottle" here means "courage" or "willingness to take risks"
in familiar British English, and after 8 minutes, Caruana has found enough
to go for 15.Be3!?. This was the first
number of bold decisions from the challenger, the most dramatic
come with 21.Rh2!?
When Svidler later commented, "Fabi is not going to die

with: "Yes, bravo for his spirit. His mind is better than his preparation
aujourd & # 39; hui "!
From there, the race was difficult for Fabiano, with the clock
not his friend:
Although he managed to justify the tower lift by bringing
turn to C2, his knight was awkwardly placed on f2 and in almost
in other circumstances, Svidler felt. 25.f4?
would have been a blow against Magnus:
Grischuk says pretty much at this point: "It looks like
Fabiano had Topalov syndrome in this game – it was enough to avoid normal movements to avoid
a draw. "This was a reference to the last match of the 2010 World Championship match.
against Vishy Anand, when Veselin Topalov committed suicide chess with the
white pieces rather than playing tie-breakers. This would be the first of many
amnesties in the match in London, however, while Magnus was playing fast 25 … a5 26.Qd2 e4 rather than going for
the b5-break or 25 … exf4!
Why did not Magnus leave for more? As he later said:
The answer is very simple: it was just not my goal! Once
Again, my approach was not to unbalance the position at this point. I had a
very clear path with a5 and e4 that gave me a completely safe position that I
could possibly play for a win. It seemed absurd to do anything else.
Magnus was not bothered by the computer evaluations:
Our team of commentators had taken over the title of world champion

Another golden chance to win the match with style ad
move 29:
Magnus played 29 … a4but 29 … Ba4! was shown by Fabiano after the match. 30.b3?
would lose at 30 … Bxb3!, while 30.Rcc1 would be hit by 29 … b5! As pointed Svidler
it was not one of those extremely difficult computer lines that no one
could be blamed for missing but something that you will probably find if you
consider 29 … Ba4 at all. As Magnus said at the press conference, "I believe
was not in the right state of mind to go. Before the press conference, he also
gave a brief interview:
The irony, in a sense, was that even though we were not really insisting for
Magnus still had an extremely promising position and more than
20 minutes ahead on the clock. Vladimir Kramnik was giving 50:50
if Caruana would survive … when all of a sudden, everything was over!
Fabiano Caruana is described later as "a little surprised
by the offer of draw ", and even reflected. Psychologically
it was a show of force, but as Grischuk said, it was the kind of offer
you might be tempted to accept if you were on the run from a point in the match and
it always meant a defeat but would save a few ranking points! While in this case …
The shock sounded in the world of chess, with the old
World champions are not exempt:
The Norwegian and American fans were just as stunned:
And other great players were shocked or disappointed:
Carlsen's words later did nothing to diminish what was
perceived almost as a crime against chess and the whole champion had defended:
I do not know, but to be honest, I was just trying to make it natural
moves. Everyone could see that I was not necessarily going for the maximum. I
I just wanted a position that was completely safe and where I could put a little
pressure, but I mean – if a draw had not been a satisfactory result, obviously
it would have approached differently.
Maybe only the way Anish Giri held a cup came in as much
reproach:
It is highly recommended to check how our own
commentators Giri, Svidler and Grischuk reacted to the news of the draw, just
when they thought they had never heard the words, "I offer a draw"
get out of Magnus' mouth (and Grischuk was halfway to an anecdote about the German-Norwegian coastguards and "I'm sinking / I think" …) The video needs to be programmed to start at that moment, while they go
to have a fascinating discussion of more than 30 minutes on the match
result, tie-breaks and general ramifications for chess. Should something change?
Just like a teaser, you would not want to miss Alexander
Grischuk's Alternate Tie-Off System!
So where does all this leave us? Well, Magnus is where he
wanted to be before the start of the match, enter the decisive games after a historic sequence of all the classic matches of a World Championship match ending in Draws:
Wednesday's format, from the usual time, will be
as follows – if there is a winner in one of these mini-matches, he wins the title.
without more games played:
- 4 fast games: 25 minutes for all moves for each player, plus a 10 second increase per shot
- 2 blitz games: 5 minutes plus an increase of 3 seconds
- 2 blitz games: 5 + 3
- 2 blitz games: 5 + 3
- 2 blitz games: 5 + 3
- 2 blitz games: 5 + 3
- 1 game Armageddon: White has 5 minutes against 4 minutes, but
a draw makes Black the world champion
The day could be very long, but what can we expect? Long before
the match that Hikaru Nakamura had lashed out at Fabiano Caruana's chances, but
he is clearly impressed by what he saw:
On the other hand, one of the reasons why Nakamura had so little
the belief in Caruana winning was that he felt that equal breaks would mean almost certain
victory for Magnus. The world champion is the fast and the blitz of the world no. 1 and
generally considered to be even better at these forms of chess than at classical chess – as an intuitive player, his level of play seems to drop less than other players' levels when he accelerates. He also has

And of course, unlike Fabiano, he's already been there
this:
Yet there is no doubt that Fabiano has put a lot of work
by honing his speed chess skills in the prospect of the match, and if you
combine that with a little luck with the preparation, and some nerves from the
champion, everything can still happen.
That's all to be hoped for Wednesday, but first of all
another day off, we have more than Banter Blitz, with Sopiko
at noon followed by Svidler
at 13:30 CET. Do not miss it!
