World Championship 2016: Game 2 Also Drawn
Sunday, November 13, 2016 at 2:18AM
Now both Magnus Carlsen and Sergey Karjakin have had a shot with the white pieces, and neither player has come close to achieving anything seroius with the privilege. This time it was Karjakin's chance to make good use of the first move, but he didn't come close to achieving anything. Carlsen equalized pretty easily (maybe Karjakin missed a very small opportunity for an edge, on move 19, but not more, and only very briefly), and the players called it a day pretty quickly, after just 33 moves.
Game 3 takes place on Monday; for now, here are my comments to game 2.
(Updated to give the correct day for the next game.)
