But those expecting fireworks at the venue in Manhattan were disappointed. Within 20 minutes of the opening move, the game was headed for a near-certain draw. Both players seemed content to let their fate rest in a round of tiebreakers, which are scheduled for Wednesday.
After 30 moves and 36 minutes, it was over, with the players agreeing to a draw.
