    I think white has a better advantage than the commentators realize. I think this won't be a draw.

    Let's do it.

    I honestly don't know why white moved the king(angling for a sure thing draw) instead of attacking the orphaned and double stacked pawns? I guess white didn't feel comfortable separating the rooks and going after them.

    Is this going to be twelve draws?

    I honestly thought that would be the direction of top-level chess. Advancing to the point that you just couldn't beat the top opponent.

    White vs Black is interesting. Surely there are different strategies. Would love to know Magnus' TRUE thoughts about whether he feels threatened here.

    BTW, I suck at chess.

    Dwight, after 7 games, standings are:

    Carlsen 4, Ian 3

    ...Carlsen won game 6, plus six Draws.

    Some decent reviews of Game 6. Carlsen's end-game was pretty stunning, if you listen to the GMs.

    Yep... just as DEEPTHROAT brought a lot of people to tonsillitis. The classics *always* have an impact.

    That was one worth reviewing the moves. Black did not castle and this one did not end in a draw.

    Ya, chess-strategy is beyond me. I do appreciate hearing the GMs discuss it.

    In game 9, Ian's error was apparently pretty bad. His bishop got corner-trapped vs Rook/Rook/Pawn, and that was the start of the demise.

    Carlsen now on the precipice.
