After 12 Draws
Full Name:
I rang a silent bell
Forums:
The World Chess Championship is going on in London. After 12 draws it’s going into a series of fast tiebreaker games. There is a chance for Fabiano Caruana to become the first American champion since Bobby Fischer beat Boris Spassky in 1972.
I think Magnus still has a better chance, but at this point Fabiano has proved himself worthy. Game 12 was controversial in that Magnus offered a draw although he seemed to be winning and had more time on the clock.

Looks like the Norwegian finally beat him. Too bad. Three straight titles though for Magnus. Pretty impressive.

To me it’s a dumb way to decide a champion. The should keep playing regular until someone wins. Otherwise it’s like someone winning the Stanley Cup in a shoot out.
