Just saw that Radjabov-Kramnik is draw in 25 with no repetition.
Please bring back Sofia rules!!!

4 game match doesn't seem like enough. What's the tie-break?

comment by Shipov

"41. Nf2 Aronian clearly leads a healthy way of life. Beside him at the table there’s probably a glass of carrot juice. That’s why he plays much better than us coffee lovers. " 🙂

4 draws.
Aronian missed the win after 7 - hours game against Grischuk, Mamedyarov and Kamsky had advantage but played bad in the endgame

Scottish Arbiter Alex McFarlane is giving an excellent running
account of the candidate matches from his side.

Two way mirrors, drug testing, sniffer dogs, mobile phone jaming...

A one point the players could briefly hear the commentary on their games.
