World Championship (Game Eight)

@greenpawn34 said

Carlsen takes a 2-0 lead with 6 games left.

Dropping a pawn to a slack move is bad enough but sometimes one can get counterplay
for a blundered pawn, but in this case there was none and the final result was inevitable.

@greenpawn34
Have greatly appreciated your analysis. Thanks.

Nepo should have read @greenpawn34 blogs and checked all the checks! How many times have you said that? And yet like a naughty class who aren't listening - we all still fall for it!

Hi Ponderable
You must have quick for that one, I thought I had changed it before
anyone noticed. Thanks - just in case I missed it.

It's over 😔

Did the fat Lady sing?

Actually I expect Nepo to try something to get back and that could lead to interesting games.

It seems Nepo is .... done!!

Magnus is a strong champion and the Match style is good for him. Very solid.

Nepo has won over a few neutrals in the way he's handled these set backs in the press conferences

@jb70
My guess is he will come out with novelties in game 9, loaded for bear, he HAS to do that I think if he is to have any kind of chance.

It's over 😔
