    Fuck me - 12 draws.

    Let's see if Magnus can pull it off in the tiebreaks.

    Surprised Carlsen offered the draw as the Supercomputers apparently had him as being in a pretty advantageous position.

    Carlsen's the favourite for the Rapid/Blitz stuff you'd think.

    He was at +1, so nothing to scoff at. This is the supercomputer: http://analysis.sesse.net/ .

    However, as Svidler and Giri pointed out, it might be that for a human it's impossible to say they're truly better here and push. Especially in this situation.

    Magnus wins the tiebreaks 3-0. Some serious dick swinging there.

    Caruana needed to do it in Classical.

    Well done Magnus.

    Seems like Alpha Zero has once again smashed Stockfish 9 in a 1000-game match. Something like 165-6, the rest draws.

    Painful.

    Kasparov seems particularly happy, since Alpha's style is, at least according to him, a lot more "human" than conventional engines. You can sort of "understand" why it's doing what it does, at least visually.
