Chess World Cup: Second crazy game ends with a draw

It was a crazy game. I really did not know what was going on. At the board, I thought we both did not play special, said Nepomnjaschi on Saturday.

The challenger from Russia was in the meantime a tower and farmer against a springer in the advantage. However, this Springer Carl sens was very strong. The defending champion sacrificed a farmer early in a Catalan opening and received good figure and attack opportunities, while Nepomnjaschi described his position as maybe playable, but ugly.

After the opening, Carlson did not make the most of his possibilities, later it was Nepomnjaschi. The remix achieved after 58 trains CARLSON for both a decent result.

The third party starts on Sunday at 13.30 clock, Monday is play-free. The first game ended with a draw in 45 trains. A maximum of 14 lots are played, the initial right will change after each match. For a victory there is a point, for a draw half a counter. Those who reached 7.5 points first is world champion.
