It is now 3-0 to Carlsen after Nepo successfully managed to trap his
own Bishop. He was doing OK before it happened. Indeed though a
piece down he still had some, albeit coffee house, swindling chances.

@contenchess saidIt looks like the pressure of this event is wearing heavily on the challenger.
Some commentators were saying it was the worst blunder in WC history 😒...
I find that hard to believe but maybe it's true.
Nepo's strategy of trying to get Magnus low on time by making fast moves was a horrible strategy.
Haste makes Waste.
@mchill saidAgreed.

He also gets up from the board too much.
A few games he had good positions and then he leaves and comes back and makes moves that cause the position to get worse.
Magnus is just too good.
A Giri or Ding Liren match would have been better 🤔
@greenpawn34 saidThank you. Great annotation as always. Enjoyed the read!
