Is there a free video stream anywhere? There was one posted a few days back, but doesn't work anymore.

Well I don't mind if they draw the next 3 and the Blitz matches as well. Wanna see Armageddon!

I'm also in the camp that tiebreakers aren't befitting a WC match. I wish they could just start with 12 or however many games, and then if the score is tied at the end, keep adding 2 classical games until someone comes out ahead.

Even now odds of Armageddon are something like a thousand to one. I'm rooting for that too though.

Kasparov vs Karpov is the reason why that's no longer a thing.

Or just keep the format they used for most of the 20th century; current world champ retains the title in the event of a draw.

They were playing with threshold of 6 points to win, which is not necessary.

Yeah, but you still might end up with an unending series of draws.

Maybe have the the champion retain the title in case of a draw, but give the challenger 1-2 more games with white.

Karjakin taking a super long time on turn 18.

Though this is a hella tough situation for him, looking great for Magnus.

Huge blunder by Karjakin!

This must be it.

I don't get what Karjakin was going for there. Maybe with the time he had left he valued simplifying the position more than going a piece down, but I find that hard to believe. Maybe he sees a possible fortress?

Not at all even on time. Karjakin needs to play perfectly in 10s/move.

Even if it was even, being 9 minutes to 1 minute sucks quite a lot.
