Very exciting game! They are both in time trouble at move 26 (about 15 mins each).

Well said, I think both players have been taking risks, it is just unfortunate they are both bloody good; we have to expect the odd dull game so they can recoup energy; looks like Carlsen has a edge at the momentThomas Rendle wrote: ↑Thu Nov 22, 2018 6:08 pmCan we agree, once and for all, this isn't a dull match that needs fixing?

Sadly, no. Still White with all the work to do to hold. I suspect he will though.

44...Kd4 is an awful move from Carlsen.

I assume Rb5 double up on the pawn and draw

Yes. Could be winning for White, if Black is not careful (engine opinion, not mine).
Put it this way, Magnus would win this with White.

This looks lost for Black. Will be a massive shock if that happens.
EDIT: OK, maybe not....
[3vs2 pawns on kingside draw]

Magnus making a mess of the ending. Not on top form in this match. May still pull things round, but some decline or complacency seems apparent.

Re: 2018 World Championship in London
Agree the match is close. But issue is the venue is too small to get a big live audience.
