I suppose with the score tied that Carlsen will press very hard in a Re1 Berlin line and then it will go to the rapid portion

Carlsen will play something super slow where he can press forever with the slightest of edges.

Perhaps the Barcza System ala game one with Anand in 2013.

The hard thing for Sergey is that if its a draw, its pretty much mission impossible for him in the Rapid and Blitz vs Carlsen. He should fight for a win. Im guessing a Sicilian.

I would be really surprised if Karjakin's team thinks that he can outplay Carlsen in the tiebreaks, I think we will see a sharp try by Karjakin tomorrow as black.

Agree with Fixing.  A must win for Sergey tomorrow.

So many persons thought it was pretty much mission impossible for him in the standard games... let's wait and see !

Style and personal aspects are a matter of taste, but a result of 5 1/2  - 5 1/2 after 11 games, whatever might happen now, is already a great achievement by Serguey.

Sergey will win a tense game after Magnus gets distracted by thoughts of a hot blonde and blunders on move 69, while thinking of 69.

Magnus will win a pawn on move 124, start to press home the advantage on move 156, take a nap on move 183, grab a quick bite to eat on move 206, comment to the arbitre "this 6 Queen ending is rather perplexing" on move 221, then force a stalemate on move 248 after 10 Hours 34 Minutes of play.

Carlsen will pretty much have the same strength in the rapid games, so he won't mind in going for a draw. On the other hand a small edge to end up +0,02 in an endgame will eventually be enough to win the title.

I predict d4 or Nf3 by Carlsen to start game.
