Now if Ding can miracle this game against Kramnik, then we're really on to something.

So going into the last round it's: Caruana 8 Mamedyarov and Karjakin 7.5 Ding 7 Grischuk - Caruana Ding - Karjakin Mamedyarov - Kramnik Last time I remember the last round being like this was when Carlsen and Kramnik were tied going into the last round and both lost.

You want to play for an unbalanced position that will let you play on for a while, and allow for you to keep play through multiple transformations. You don't have to be so desperate as to try to play for a win out of the opening. Another thing I've seen in the past is for the top player to just take the draw quickly to put the pressure on the other players. But I don't know how wise that is staring down two potential tiebreaks. e: Svidler posted this link with all the breaker possibilities http://eji.com/chess/index.htm Hand Knit fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Mar 26, 2018 |

Svidler's excited gasp when he got Ding's attack was so cute.

Caruana looks in good position to win and render this whole thing moot.

algebra testes posted:Speculation is he'll just watch Shak play and offer a draw when Shak gives up. I can easily imagine Caruana winning his position before Shak stops trying in his.
