Dubai: Magnus Carlsen is close to winning the World Chess Championship again. In the eighth game, he defeated his Russian opponent Jan Nepomnyachi. This gave Carlson a 5-3 lead. Carlson won the sixth game as well. There are a total of 14 games.
Carlson played with white calves. Neptune’s choice in the eighth game, as in the fourth game, was the Petroff defense, designed by nineteenth-century Russian Alexander. Neptune shocked Carlson in his ninth move in the game, advancing through familiar ways. Chess experts suspect that the Soros supercomputer, believed to be Napo’s aide, was behind the move. Anyway this move made Carlson think for a long time. After 18 moves, several calves disappeared from the board and gave signs of a draw. Unfortunately for Neptune in his 21st move.
He lost a pony by a huge mistake. At the same time, failure was assured. Carlson won by 46 moves. Neptune can only stay in the game if they score four points in the remaining six games. Returns are not impossible in world chess. Gary Kasparov, who trailed by five points in the 1984–85 World Championship final, then made an incredible comeback (that match was canceled after 44 games). But in the current situation, Carlson is likely to tighten his grip.
