Magnus just won game 6. I think this was the longest game in world championship history, over 8 hours. The last hour was pretty exciting, as a far as chess goes :-)

I am old enough to remember
I am old enough to remember Bobby Fischer play Boris Spassky in 1972. Was a big deal, cold war and all. The local PBS station here in NY, ch 13, aired it as live as it could be back then. They would get a call or wire update of latest move from Reykjavik and then move a piece accordingly on a wall mounted board. Shelby Lyman hosted what was expected to a mostly dull affair but was actually a hit! It was when and how I learned to play chess

Sounds like Ian should lay down his King for good and book a spa visit to recover.
