Or when they say classical chess is dead!вЂќ Quick drawДЄfter the gruelling, marathon sixth game, Carlsen and Nepo played out a rather quick 41-move draw, in just over two and a half hours, in the seventh game. Remember this, when you hear chess isnвЂ™t a sport, or that physical condition isnвЂ™t so important. 7 hours, 45 minutes of peak concentration at the highest level of competition. Legendary Garry Kasparov described it as, вЂњIncredible game.

Now, I donвЂ™t see white (Carlsen) letting him get away.вЂќ ItвЂ™s not a big deal.вЂќД¬arlsenвЂ™s decision to trade his queen for two rooks and later, the choice to break NepoвЂ™s вЂfortressвЂ™ by giving up the rook for a bishop and pawn, paved the way for a historic win.ДЄs Viswanathan Anand observed during his commentary, вЂњNepo had an easy draw (around the 50th move) but he has made it difficult for himself. NepoвЂ™s reaction was, вЂњObviously it wasnвЂ™t the most pleasant game. вЂњNow, obviously, IвЂ™m exhausted, but after a win, and those are not easy to come by, IвЂ™m obviously elated!вЂќ вЂLife goes onвЂ™ He was not being quite as vigilant as he was at the start, and that gave me some hope, and eventually he gave me the chance to break through. I did feel at some point he (Nepo) was losing his patience a little bit, defending that ending. вЂњI think I was maybe a little more patient towards the end. At some point, I thought I should make the game as long as possible so that we would both be as tired as possible when the critical moment came, and that turned out to be a good strategy. The explanation from the champion was, вЂњIt shouldnвЂ™t be easy in a World Championship match and you have to try for every chance, no matter how small it is, and part of it was by design. The number of moves played beat the previous record of 124 moves in the drawn fifth game between Anatoly Karpov and Viktor Korchnoi in their 1978 World title clash.Д¬arlsen, better placed once Nepo let go of a promising position leading to the first time-control, kept pressing for a possible win even when a draw appeared the most likely outcome. The first to reach 7.5 points in the best of 14-game match wins.

In an epic lasting 136 moves, spread over 7 hours and 45 minutes, Carlsen managed to break NepoвЂ™s resistance and gained a 3.5-2.5 lead after six games. It does not store any personal data.Magnus CarlsenвЂ™s unmatched persistence came to the fore as he reinforced his reputation of being able to вЂњsqueeze water out of stone.вЂќ Displaying awe-inspiring tenacity, the champion nailed Ian Nepomniachtchi in the longest game in World chess championship, in Dubai in the early hours of Saturday.
