Ongoing: The Andreikin-Nepomniachtchi Match
Thursday, November 1, 2012 at 12:40AM
We're two games in, with four to go, and so far Dmitry Andreikin leads Ian Nepmoniachtchi 1.5-.5 in this battle of young 2700s. Somewhat like the Kramnik-Aronian match earlier in the year, the audience gets a guarantee of sorts: if the game is drawn in under three hours, the players will face off in a pair of 15' + 10" games after a short break. (Those games won't count towards the official match scores.) So far that threat hasn't had to be carried out, but depending on how the slow games go it might be nice if it were.
