Game 3

 

 

Caruana had a bad start, losing from a won position in round one, going for direct attack this game to win.

 

Pogoretskiy
Definitely not bad for a world champion who's over 50 years old who hasn't played rated chess for 12 years against top 10 world players

I agree. He faced Karjakin and Naka on day one, and did fine.
