how is kramnik carlsen looking

Sort:
superking500

so how is looking so far? is it drawish

 

any advantages?

Fear_ItseIf

drawish, theres sofia rules (no draws till 30) in place though, so theyre grinding it out.

Kramnik's pawn structure is better.

Fear_ItseIf

but carlsen has a lot more activity, kramniks bishop is pretty bad, and the f4 pawn actually helps. While c3 is hard to attack.

was it by arbiters ruling though? I think its no draw offers until move 30.

Svidler-Kramnik yesterday. I don't believe the arbiter was consulted.

thats weird, people on ICC were all saying the 30 move rule was in place. idk where you would check the rule listing for this though.

I don't think it is Sofia rules. In yesterday's game it actually surprised the commentators that they drew. Right before the draw the commentators were saying the position was "heating up", then drawLaughing

superking500

so is it a drawish look right now

Fear_ItseIf

look at the diagram, though it would be a few moves old. It doesnt seem to be going anywhere.

Carlsen has a very microscopic advantage. he has his rook on the 7th. hardly anything significant. Nothing to write home about.

You know? that sort of advantage he he milks into a win all the time.

Fear_ItseIf

lets hope he does.

It is the definition of a dead draw. Still, if Magnus wants to play, he has every right to do so.

Carlsen's doubled Kingside pawns aren't a problem?

varelse1

is getting more drawish by the move. And they aren't doubled now.

theres no way for kramnik to exploit them

It finished as a draw but they didn't manage to make a picture on the board as in Carlsen's previous game with Aronian where they made a picture of a heart on the board.

Suvel

where can you see the game?

Fear_ItseIf

im watching it on ICC, the fide site and some other places will have it (idk about commentary)
