Tiebreakers are underway. The 12-game match between the defending champion Magnus Carlsen (Norway) and the challenger Sergey Karjakin (Russia) ended 6-6, thus today we have tiebreakers, meaning that by the end of the day, the champion will be decided.
The first tiebreaker is 4 rapid games (25 minutes + 10 seconds per move). If after the rapid games the score is 8-8, then the second tiebreaker will be 2 blitz games (5 minutes + 3 seconds per move. If after those games, the score is 10-10, then they once again play 2 blitz games, up to a total of 5 times. If after 10 blitz games, the score is 18-18, then a final sudden death (a.k.a. armageddon), where white has 5 minutes, black has 4 minutes, the players have no increment until move 60 (where they get 3 seconds per move), however black has drawing odds (meaning that a draw would mean a win of the championship for black).
On the official website there is a ranking bar (% chance for each of the players to win?) - how is it calculated?

GO CAR JACKING
Jaxon Myers
Step aside, scrubs.
Jackson Ward

Caleb Perez
*boxing ring

Aiden Cook
chess engine
Jacob Edwards
Magnus at 1.3 looks good now
Asher Long

James Jackson

Adrian Fisher
Even faster games of 5|3
Jace Myers
Tie again.. Chess is solved, we need a new game.
Zachary Williams
DOES ANYBODY HAVE PROOF THAT NEPO (or any other player besides Svidler) ACTUALLY POSTS ON Sup Forums?
Alexander Hall
with a chess engine.
Kevin Sanders
According to people who practice it, chessboxing is plainly silly.
The boxing component is overwhelmingly more important than the differences in chess skill.
Parker Allen
Not to mention Karjak at 6min vs 12:45
Julian Russell
What happens after blitz draws?
Zachary Davis
It's not a tie, Magnus is up almost half a pawn
Jackson Hughes
4 blitz (even faster) games
Logan Wilson
they play a game of Yu-Gi-Oh
John Jackson
Armageddon Chess
White gets 5 minutes, black gets 4 minutes, no bonus time until turn 60
Black wins in a draw.
Michael Fisher
>karjakin almost 10 minutes down
Parker Clark
here is the proof: he's an autistic GM that is into e-sports
Christian Green
if karjakin draws this game he will have the edge in the match
Jason Clark
an armageddon game, they have to play while Bruce Willis sings Don't Wanna Miss a Thing next to them
Bentley Flores
>that rook on c1
Connor Cook
Wouldn't be worse than Armageddon.
Caleb Cruz
GG CARLSEN WON
Wyatt Torres
BLUNDER
Aiden Brooks
>Black wins in a draw.
Sounds like affirmative action to me.
Luke Nguyen
IT IS OVER 88888!!!!!
GG CARLSEN
Ryan Smith
Carlsen taking an emergency shit
Brody Harris
Sergey seriously behind on time.
Jacob Barnes
The entertainment value of two giants of chess battling across a ton of matches and neither can best the other and so they make them play an inane kids card game to decide the chess winner would be incredible.
Nathan Parker
Ok, I go first and make Dark Law, Bahamut Shark and Treatead. Set is Dimensional Barrier.
Your move ;)
Nice way to decide chess worlds
Noah James
3 minutes should be enough to hold a draw here. It's very simplified already
Michael Howard
White has a mate in 26 now
Zachary Hughes
Carlsen is fucking right now
Eli Scott
so when you are playing against friend, how long do you think before a move ?
Do you pressure eachother to hurry up or is chill `?
Christian Jackson
It's over no fucking way is Karjakin coming back
Benjamin Harris
HE TOOK
THE MADMAN
Jack Richardson
HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA
>Implying
Jordan Parker
>Score: +1.35
Dylan Garcia
KARJAKIN BTFO PUTIN EXPOSED
Brayden Allen
>magnus still 1.14 at betfair
lump on boys it's literally free money
Ian Brooks
>two bishops for a rook and a pawn (though the pawn will probably fall) is it really THAT big of an advantage? obviously the bishop pair is scary, but keep in mind this is still rapid, the game isn't over yet
Is it known which one is the "official" one or is it just some proprietary shit made by organizers?
Easton Sanchez
Yes
Austin Reyes
Karjakin is going to run out of time
Jacob Young
that makes the advntage even bigger considering the time gap
James Richardson
Look how his clock is just going down m8.
Christian Myers
I see mate in 23... fight me
Ayden Morris
too low imo
Aiden Hill
RUSSKI STOP :(
Landon Nelson
two bishops in an open endgame where most of the board is blank space? that's massively superior
not to mention black's pawn isn't a passed pawn and not holdable
Luke Rivera
great
Ayden Perez
Probably stockfish. It is free and right now the second best.
Dominic Wilson
stockfish, probably
Andrew Allen
Fucking russian retard
Michael Gonzalez
How the fuck is too low it's basically a lock for Carlsen to win.
Karjakin has shown in both games he has massive time management problem and now he has to win with white. Not seeing it.
Wyatt Baker
There is no "official" engine. I believe they use stockfish which is the best open source engine available.
Easton Baker
>thecoolguy
Eli Hughes
yes, because you have one more major unit on the board that you can often use to pile up on pawns and win more material for free
sometimes, it's not a big deal but if you can create weaknesses, you often win by a landslide
but here, I don't think this is the case. though Magnus will surely torture his opponent for a long time, just for the sake of it
Luke Moore
Karjakin is ded on clock
Isaiah Fisher
Yeah I'm going to have to eat my words.
Brandon Torres
>literally down to under 1 minute
Jose Barnes
Karjakin is done, the sperglord will win
Kevin Green
KARJAKIN KEPT BLUNDERING. 75%% Now.
William Garcia
>Too weak, too slow. You heard it here first.
Liam Price
NONO NO NO DRAW HERE FAGGOT
Elijah Nguyen
>eval almost at +2
Kevin Carter
actually 1:56 - don't trust the sesse und chess24 clocks
Andrew Williams
those weren't fucking blunders you fucking idiot
Brandon Harris
Draw again ? I don't think this semen slurping sport is for me.
Lucas Parker
>BRUH MY POSITION KEEPS GETTING WORSE >NO BLUNDER THO
Liam Cooper
>+2.15
pls Russia you have to win for the Slavs :(
Dylan Bell
well, it's 1:15 now and he's moving very slow so he'll be playing on increments in a moment
Oliver Ward
Karjakin now
John Johnson
Okay, I understand that the bishop pair is much better than the rook here, that the e-pawn is unholdable, and that the evaluation shows white to be much better, but how exactly does white make progress here?
