Low-key struggle leads to quiet draw as world chess title fight remains tied

Low-key struggle leads to quiet draw as world chess title fight remains tied
SHARE

They avoided the theatrics of the first two games, but a draw was again the result Sunday as world chess champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway and Russian challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi remain tied with 1 1/2 points apiece in their scheduled 14-game match in Dubai.

Carlsen, who faced difficult moments in the first two games of the match, played much more solidly Sunday from the Black side of a Ruy Lopez opening. Despite an unusual repositioning of the Black pieces starting with 10…Re8, Carlsen was easily able to neutralize White’s mild threats.

A flurry of central exchanges followed by the elimination of both players’ rooks led to a bishop-and-pawn ending in which Black’s slightly more active bishop and king could not make progress against the challenger’s solid defense. The two players agreed to a draw just after reaching the first time control at 40 moves.

Draws have been the bane of title matches in recent years, as the two strong, well-prepared contestants struggle to gain the upper hand. Carlsen’s 2018 title defense against American grandmaster Fabiano Caruana featured 12 straight draws in the games played at classical time controls, with the Norwegian only retaining his title in a rapid-game playoff.

Monday will be the first rest day for the two players before play resumes with Game 4 on Tuesday.
