Carlsen is known for having a huge range of openings, so I don't think Karjakin would have tunnel visioned too hard on a single opening in prep. for this. But it certainly makes preparing against him very hard. | ||

Giuoco Piano has been REALLY popular at the top level in the last year or two. People are getting bored of Berlin. Especially considering that Magnus is known to play anything, I don't think this was a surprise to Karjakin. | ||

In other games Carlsen went for the knight development to a3/c2/e3 (exchanging dark square bishops) rather than the line with b4 and the knignt on d2, but Karjakin had already played against it. | ||

If Karjakin is to win a game, he's going to have to wait for Magnus to overpress and make a mistake like he did in game 5. Pretty disappointing for Team Karjakin since he supposedly had so much backing for this World Championship. | ||

The pattern for these games seems to be Carlsen surprising Karjakin with a rare move around move 10, Karjakin thinking for 20 minutes and then losing all initiative. | ||

edit: back to back blunders and Carlsen can hold with perpetual. Time pressure got to both players. edit2: he chose not to and is now struggling to find a draw. 51. Qe6 is a serious blunder, the eval is -5.76! This is over. | ||

He was never behind against Vishy. It will be interesting to see how he reacts when hes behind, because he has to start really pressing (only 4 games left), but that's exactly when Karjakin has gotten his chances off of in this match. | ||

Now they are saying that Carlsen tries to offer draws by repetition again and again and Karyakin is doing all he can to avoid them xD | ||
