#4Well done to Magnus. To Ian. To the commentators. This was an unbelievable 'play' in three acts. A game for the chess books. Great quality match so far and I hope Ian comes back from this blow and makes a fight of it. I believe he will.

#5Bit of a spoiler :(
I prefer to watch analysis of games from YouTubers like Agadmator or Jerry from Chessnetwork and discover who the winner was by watching the game.
I wonder if these long games are not particularly helpful. Most chess final games end in draws as players are reluctant to create an imbalance and instead play it safe. There tends to be more exciting games played in games with a shorter time limit.
I'm not advocating bullet but perhaps they could try 30 minute matches instead?

It's the first 'classical' (ie with full time limits) game that's had a win in the last 5 years of World Chess Championships - since game 10 of Carlsen vs Karjakin in 2016

The last five years were decided by shorter tie breaker games as the longer classical games were all draws
