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.

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.

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

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.
