| 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. 3.Nxe5d64.Nf3Nxe45.d4d56.Bd3Bd67.O-OO-O8.c4c69.Re1Bf510.Qb3Qd711.Nc3Nxc312.Bxf5Qxf513.bxc3b614.cxd5cxd515.Qb5happened in Game 4. 3...Nxe44.Bd3d55.Nxe5Nd76.Nxd7 6.Nxf7leads to a draw6...Kxf77.Qh5+Ke77...Kg88.Qxd5#is sad for Black8.Qe2threatening f3Kf78...Nf69.f3and White is slightly better.9.Qh5+ 6...Bxd77.Nd2!?A very rare move!

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. 7.O-Ois the main move7...Bd6 8.Nc3is a move that became popular after Ian's victory over Chinese super-GM Yu Yangyi!8...Nxc39.bxc3O-O10.Qh5f511.Re1c612.Bg5Qc713.Re3g614.Qh4Rae815.Rae1Rxe316.Rxe3Re8?!16...b5is what Black should have played17.c4Rxe318.Bxe3despite equal material White's positional domination gives them good chances for a win18...Be819.c5!Qe720.Bg5Qe1+21.Bf1Bf822.Be3+−Qa523.Bf4Bf724.Qf6Bg725.Qd6Qe126.Be3Bf827.Qb8b628.cxb6axb629.Qxb6Qa130.Qa7c531.Qa8Qe132.dxc5d433.Bh6Be834.Qd5+Bf735.Qd8Qe736.Qxe7Bxe737.c6Bd638.g3Bd539.a4Kf740.Bb5Bc741.Bf4Bxf442.gxf4Ke743.c7Bb744.a51-0, Nepomniachtchi,I (2771)-Yu,Y (2761) Astana, 2019 8.c4was the most common line8...c69.cxd5cxd510.Qh5O-O11.Qxd5Bc612.Qh5g6 7...Nxd2was played rather too quickly! 7...f5!?Nwas worth considering8.O-OQf6Attacking the d4-pawn and preparing long castle!9.Nf3a try to fight for the e5-square9.c3slow9...O-O-O10.f3isn't good for White as after10...Nxd211.Bxd2f4followed by ...-g5 and ...-h5 Black gets excellent chances!Bd69...O-O-O10.Bf4!?10.Ne5 10...O-O-O 10...Bxe511.dxe5Qxe5 12.Qe1!Qe7!Black needs to defend the Queen so that f3 doesn't win a piece12...O-O-O?13.f3Qd4+14.Be3+−13.Bf4attacking -c7 pawn13...O-O-O14.f3Qc5+14...g515.fxe4dxe416.Bd2± 15.Kh1Nf616.b4Qb617.a4White starts the action on the queenside.17...Rde818.Qd2Nh519.Bg5h620.Bh4Qe3!21.Qxe3Rxe322.Bf2Ree823.Bxa7unlike the Spassky-Fischer game, Bishop on the edge does not get trapped this time.b6?23...Nf424.Bd4↑24.Ba6+Kd825.a5+−and White shall win 15.Be3d416.Bf4Nf617.Qe5Qxe518.Bxe5Be619.Rfe1Rhe820.b4!?preventing c7-c5 seems to be leading to slightly better position for White. 12.f3??Qd4+13.Kh1Nf2+14.Rxf2Qxf2-+ 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'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.Re1+Kf8!10...Be6?11.c4and Black having difficult times.11...Kf812.c5Be713.Re5+−11.c4Qh412.g3Qxd413.Bc3Qg4seems totally fine for Black 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!

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!
