| Posição final depois de 43 Df3 e negras abandonam. Não havia mais nada a fazer. |
Depois de algumas imprecisões por parte de Nepo, Carlsen ficou com o jogo fácil, jogou de forma bastante sólida e não deixou chance alguma para o seu oponente se recuperar. Com essa segunda vitória, Carlsen praticamente garante a manutenção do título mundial, "basta" continuar jogando com a concentração que vem demonstrando. Você concorda?

Dear friends, after the longest game in the history of World Championship matches, the players had a relatively easier day in the office yesterday. Today, the World Champion plays with the White pieces. Are we going to see 1.d4 and many complications (in the Catalan?!) by him or 1.e4 where the rather sound Petroff is most likely expecting him? Considering the match situation, I'd say the second choice seems more logical, however, thinking about the psychological aspect, Nepo is in a more difficult situation at the moment and Carlsen may try using this factor...1.e4!?Carlsen seems to be in a calm mood today. I expect him to come up with a small idea in the Petroff and if Ian manages to avoid all the pitfalls - a draw is a perfectly fine result.1...e52.Nf3Nf6Petroff Defense, as it was expected.3.d4!?New move in the match.

6...Bxd77.Nd2!?A very rare move! I have 4823 games in my database after 6...-Bxd7 and only 48 games with 7.Nd2. In other words, it's been played in less than 1% of all games! In general, it doesn't seem to be any harmful move, but as we thought, Magnus comes with a small opening idea/try, deviating from theoretical clashes.

12.Re1O-O-O13.f3Qf6!?14.fxe4dxe415.Bf1f4=∞looks super interesting, where White has an extra piece, however, all their pieces are yet located on the first rank, whilst Black's pawns are dangerously advanced.
8.Bxd2Bd6Abasovafter the game Ian said, perhaps logical 8...-Bd6 wasn't the most precise move. I believe 8...-Qe7 could have been a reasonable alternative.GM AbasovNP.S. Fun fact: The 8th move of Game 8 - 8 pieces placed along the d-file. Just like 8 planets in 'Planet Parade' :)
8...Qe7+!?looked interesting9.Be3Qb4+10.Qd2and now the question is, can Black dare to be greedy and grab the b2-pawn?Qxb210...Qxd2+is the safest11.Kxd2Bd6should be close to total equality. The last hope for White will be here to advance kingside pawns and get some space.12.h4and once Black meets it accordingly12...h5the game should end in a draw.11.O-OBb412.Qe2O-Olooks like Black is controlling everything, however, their position is not stable enough13.Rab1Qa314.Qh5f515.Bf4Bd615...c616.Rb3Qa517.Rfb1+−b7 falls and so the position.16.Rb3Qxa217.Bxd6cxd618.Rxb7Rf719.Qf3±and Black's position is shaky
9.O-OHere Nepo started taking some time. I believe he wasn't too much happy about his position.9...h5!?unique way of dealing with Qh5 ideas!
9...Qh410.g3
10...Qg411.Re1+Kf812.Qxg4Bxg4could have been an option, but generally, the setup doesn't seem convincing for Black.
10...Qxd4?11.Bc3Qg412.Qxg4Bxg413.Bxg7Rg814.Bf6wins material by force, as after14...h515.Bh7Rf816.Bg7with wins an exchange.

White's advantage is out of the question. The question is: Is it be enough to win the game?
9...Qf610.Re1+Be611.Qh5is a nice way of preventing castling on both flanks. Obviously, the short castle is not possible due to mate in 1 and in case of long castle
11...O-O-O12.Bg5±White wins material

10.Qe1+!?Was played after 40 minutes of thinking! I'd call this - The first critical moment of the game. Obviously, Ian's last move took Magnus out of the book. However, it doesn't feel like Black can checkmate the rival King on the kingside. 9... -h5 seems to be more like an active-prophylactic move against Qh5. I assume, spending so much time Magnus initially tried to figure out whether he can punish Ian's confrontational play. After realizing there's no refutation, he started to analyze what's going on on the board psychologically. With 10.Qe1+, he basically showed Ian that he is not against the peaceful outcome today. (P.S: Of course, a crucial nuance is the match situation, that Magnus has the lead. Was the score in the match even, I'm pretty much convinced he would have played differently). Being aware of Nepo's personality and his ambitiousness, Magnus knew that 9...-h5 kind move shall not be followed by ...-Qe7, which forces the Queen trades and simplifications. And yes, the game showed he was absolutely right.
10.c4!?dxc411.Re1+!?intermezzo11.Bxc4Qf612.Re1+Kf813.Qb3Kf811...Be6??12.Bxc4+−12.Bxc4Qf613.Qb3looks promising for White

10...Kf8?!Not that it is a bad move, as the time showed, it was a bad decision. There was absolutely no need for Black to do something like that.
10...Qe7makes the most sense and is the best move11.Qxe7+Kxe712.Rae1+Kf613.h4Bf514.Bg5+Kg615.Bxf5+Kxf516.Be7Rhe817.Bxd6cxd6and despite the fact that Black has got doubled pawn, the activity of their King at least compensate the damaged pawn structure.
11.Bb4Qe712.Bxd612.Qxe7+Bxe7Qxd613.Qd2Well, as a result of 10...-Kf8 we reached this position. What can we say? Whilst we have almost symmetrical pawn formations, Black's Rooks are not connected yet. This factor gives White a slight edge.13...Re814.Rae1Rh6Black tries to bring the h8-Rook into the game.15.Qg5so, White starts keeping an eye on h5-pawn that the Rook couldn't move easily.15...c6
15...Rhe6a try to rely on tactical resources doesn't work for Black due to concrete play.16.Qxh5!16.Rxe6Rxe617.Qxh5Rh618.Qe5is the same.Rh616...Rxe117.Qh8+Ke718.Rxe1++−17.Rxe8+!Bxe818.Qe5!±and White is having an extra pawn
16.Rxe8+Bxe817.Re1White has the e-file. more active Queen and Bishop, yet it is not enough to win as the position remains to be symmetrical (in terms of pawn structure) and there's only 1 open file.17...Qf618.Qe3
18.Qg3Qd618...Qxd419.Bf5!controlling e6-square and preventing ...-Re6 wins the game for White.19.Re5Bd720.h4looks unpleasant for Black.
18...Bd719.h3h420.c4!?typical actions for such kind positions. As we mentioned above, White's pieces are more active but the problem is they cannot prove themselves in a position where there's only 1 open file. With 20.c4 White consciously enter a position with an isolated pawn, however, get more room for the pieces!20...dxc4
20...g5!?another active-prophylactic move (same as 9...-h5) looked really strong here!21.cxd5cxd522.Qe522.Rc1Bc623.b4a6Be623.Rc1Qxe524.dxe5f625.exf6Rxf626.Re126.Rc7?!Rf7↑is even better for Black, thanks to passed d-pawn.d427.b3Bf528.Bxf5Rxf529.Re4Rd530.Kf1d331.Ke1Rc5
20...Be6is no good due to21.cxd5and Black is forced to recapture with c6-pawn.21...cxd5after what White takes c-file without any contest.22.Rc1Qd823.Qe5+−
21.Bxc4b5??Was played after 4 minutes of thinking... There's not much to comment on this move. Normally, you'd expect a player of 2800 level to see that 21...-b5 is a huge blunder, but it proves again that elite players are also human beings. It shows how the tension is high in Dubai and that after an almost 8-hour Game 6 Ian didn't recover fully. I can only feel sorry for him.
21...Kg8was meanwhile the best continuation for Black
22.Qe7Be623.Qxf6Rxf624.Bxe6Rxe6pawn endings are always tricky!

23...bxc424.Qxd7+−
23...Bxh3!?could have been the last try as after24.Re8+Kh7
25.Qxf7was the only way to keep the advantage for White.
25.Bxf7looks extremely strong but in fact loses all the advantage after25...Rg6!!and suddenly Black is in the game, in fact, White is the side now to fight for a draw.26.Rh8+only move!26.Bxg6+??Qxg627.g3Qb1+28.Kh2Qf1and White cannot prevent a checkmate from -g2.26...Kxh827.Qb8+Kh728.Qg8+Kh6last 3-4 moves by White were strictly only. They needed to push Black's King onto g-file29.Bxg6Qxg630.Qh8+Kg5and once King finally comes to g-file, it covers the pin, so White captures on -h3.31.gxh3Kf4+but the show goes on! The activity of Black's King gives them good chances to fight for a win!

32.Kh2is no good due to32...Kf3!33.Qf8+Ke2↑and the King goes all the way to -f1, to deliver a checkmate!33...Qf6!?↑
24.Bb3Now in addition to active pieces White has also got an extra pawn. The position is technically winning.24...Rd625.Re4!the cleanest. White is threatening Rxh4-Qxh4, Qb825...Be626.Bxe6Rxe626...fxe627.Qc5and Black loses another pawn.27.Rxe6fxe628.Qc5Black's main problem in this position is not only the fact that they are down a pawn. but that they have a number of weaknesses (on -c6; e6; -h4).28...Qa5Ian is looking for counter-chances.29.Qxc6Qe1+30.Kh2Qxf231.Qxe6+Now Black is couple pawns down, and normally it's enough to win the game31...Kh732.Qe4+Kg833.b3Qxa234.Qe8+Kh735.Qxb5Qf236.Qe536.Qb8!?would be a very nice touch, covering b8-h2 diagonal so that Nepo never gets a check and simply march the b-pawn all the way to the Queen.36...Qxd437.b4+−followed by b5-b6-Qc7-b7-b8=QQb237.Qe4+Kg838.Qd3Qf239.Qc3Qf4+40.Kg1Kh741.Qd3+g642.Qd1With extra cautious play Magnus doesn't want to give a single hope to his opponent.42...Qe3+43.Kh1g544.d5g4Ian tries his last chance, creating some play on White's King and hopefully getting eternal checks.45.hxg4
45.d6was still perfectly fine, but it's a kind of position where all the roads lead to Rome.45...gxh346.Qh5+Kg747.Qg4+Kh747...Kf748.Qf3++−48.Qxh4+Kg749.Qg4+Kh749...Kf750.Qf3++−50.Qxh3++−
45...h346.Qf3The game is over. Black resigned... What can I say? I personally have mixed emotions. Unlike game 6, where Magnus put enormous effort to win the game, it more feels like Nepo self-destructed today. It's extremely difficult to strike back after such unpleasant defeats. I have a sensation that Ian has burnt himself out, with declining draws in both Game 6 and today with taking too much risk. With 6 games to go, Magnus' 2-point lead makes me think about the chances. I believe the odds now are 97/3 and the destiny of the match has mostly been decided. Yet I genuinely hope the rest day tomorrow will recharge Ian and in the second half of the match, we see a completely different player - the true Samurai in action! I am most definitely sure he is capable of keeping the intrigue until the very end and it's never over until it's over!
