Line up three or more same-colored balls to remove them from the bin Instructions: Left-mouse click on two balls to make them swap positions. Is it us, or did the bouncey balls just get bouncier?

In this series of moves, if, instead of 29 Re6+-, Carlsen had played the obvious 29 Rg5+?=, Nepo would have achieved equality with 29.Kf8 30 Bb3 Re1+ 31 Kh2 Bb3 (only move) 32 ab3 Re2 33 b4 Rf2 33 b4 Rf2 34 b3 Rb2 35 Rh5 Rb3 36 Rh4 f5 37 Rf4 Kg7 38 g3 Rb2+ 39 Kg1 Rb1+ 40 Kf2 Rb2=, even with White's material advantage.
However, Nepo could still have made a fight of it on the next move, as the Beast sees it, if, instead of playing 22.Kg8, he had played 22.Qd6, since this would have required Carlsen to make a series of "only moves" in order to keep his winning advantage.įor example, 23 Qa7 g5 (to create "luft" for the King) 24 Bb3 Be6 (only move) 25 Bc2 (only move) Bd5 26 Qc5 (only move) Kg7 27 Re5 (only move) Qc5 28 dc5 Re6 29 Re6 (only move) fe6 (only move) 30 b3 (only move) b4 31 f3 (only move) Kf7 32 Kf2 Kf6+. Nepo's 21.b5?+- was a blunder, since 21.Kg8 22 b3 Kf8 23 Qd2 b6= leads to equality. It is not bothered by moves like Nepo's 9.h5, Carlsen's 10 Qe1+, Nepo's 14.Rh6, and Carlsen's 18 Qe3, as, in its view, all the alternatives likewise lead to equality.įor example, if, instead of 10 Qe1+, Carlsen had played 10 c4, the Beast sees 10.dc4 11 Re1+ Kf8 12 Bc4 Qf6 13 Qb3 h4 14 Re3 (if 14 Qb7 Bc6!=, since White cannot take the Bc6 because of 15.Bh2+, and White loses his Queen) Rh5= (only move). Interestingly, the Beast (Fat Fritz 2 running on 48 cores) evaluates the position as equal all the way until move 21. This was not the kind of win a player of Carlsen’s calibre celebrates excessively. However, he looked markedly tired, a perception which was confirmed by the Norwegian himself while answering to journalists’ questions. In the end, it was a dream three-day series for the defending champion, who not only won both his games with white but also got a clean, quick draw in his one game with the black pieces.Īfter such an optimal result in the games following the second rest day, one would think Carlsen would be ecstatic in the post-game press conference. While Friday’s game will go down in World Championship history as a memorable struggle, Carlsen’s latest win had more to do with what appear to be psychological difficulties suffered by his opponent. With six games to go, it would be truly surprising if Ian Nepomniachtchi manages to bounce back, especially after having suffered such painful defeats.
