Carlsen - Karjakin Game 5 - Still Level


Title here


Game 5 was the fifth draw and again as was the case with the last two,
it is full of interesting moments and ideas. We see for the first time Karjakin
having a poke at Carlsen and Carlsen’s reaction. No Karjakin style defence
for him. He sacs a pawn to get just as many chances as Karjakin has. ...

Karjakin - Carlsen (Game 4) - The Fortress


Hello Again and we continue our coverage of the World Championship.

Another draw but again a game full of ideas and imaginative
defensive technique displayed by the Challenger Karjakin.

It’s a rest tomorrow, the players have earned it after the last two games. ...

Carlsen - Karjakin (game 3) and it is a game.

Karjakin - Carlsen (Game 2)


Hello again and welcome to the 2016 World Chess Championship.

I doubt if we will be hearing from HikaruShindo or TigerTony again.

and have got themselves arrested. Their defence that “greenpawn
made us do it.” has also placed me on the wanted list by the FBI...

Title here

Unless you have been living in a cave then you will know
that America won the 2016 Chess Olympiad held in Baku.

(Baku is in one them countries I cannot spell - sounds like ‘has a bad banjo’ )
