Karjakin leads

Further, i dont like your "appeal to authority (... or ad hominem)", as @LM OhNoMyPants said in #25.

If you want to refute someone, do it with good arguments, not with unfair tricks. Thats true objectivity.

Sergey is Real Madrid of chess, i.e. the most ruthless counter-attacking machine. This match is already decided. The only intrigue is how furious Carlsen's tantrums will be.

Now, Carlsen will have to attack - he has nothing to lose.

2016 is shaping up to be the year of the under dogs taking over.

1) Brexit, very few thought it would pass in the media
2) The cavs win the NBA championship against the unstoppable warriors
3) The Mets win the world series after a 107 year drought
4) Trump beats Hillary after all the polls and media said nope
5) Now we got Sergey holding Magnus at 1-0 after 9 of 12 games...

The pressure is on Magnus big time. He needs 2 of the remaining the points in order to get into the over time where he would have an advantage with his blitz skills assuming they draw the rapids.

Currently I would bet on Sergey being the new world champion. You gotta remember that he was the youngest GM in world history, and it is far easier for him to Draw Magnus than it is for Magnus to defeat him.

If Sergey scores another win it's absolutely over.

With each additional draw the odds stack up higher and higher against Magnus.

I feel that these world chess tournaments should have a clause where you must win by at least 2 points in order to win so that it is more decisive. 1 screw up can blow the entire championship if you play perfectly otherwise.

Yes, yes. All your arguments turn around a typing mistake. Now, you passed to be a simple forum troll.

"Further, i dont like your "appeal to authority (... or ad hominem)", as @LM OhNoMyPants said in #25.

Sure, like you do, talking about typing mistakes instead of talking the games, and how Karjakin is near and near to be 17th W.C.Champion.

In chess -because we are talking about chess, not idealistic philosophies and mind-straws.- there are authorities according to their strength. That's a fact, even you are a amateur chess player. Do you want I show what chess authority is? Then we have to play and I will show you.

@GM Zahier #55

I am ready to argue with you, once you stop attacking me for your own mistakes. Remember what you said in #42:

"I said: 'No player 2600+ will draw easily against Karjakin'; so I recommend you to read better. You said clearly: 'Karjakin is simply exchanging all pieces and goes for a draw'. And I responded according what you said. Now you're trying to fix it, haha."

this was the answer to * number 3 of my post #22.

So you was loling about me? But you were wrong! You did not apologize. Not for you making a mistake and not for you being unfriendly. Now you call me a troll? lol.
