Final WCC Predictions.

For fun, let's get specific:

- Game 13 = draw - players getting warmed up. Karjakin has white and plays a relatively uneventful d3 Spanish. Carlsen gets a mild initiative after Karjakin's early push sputters out.
- Game 14 = Carlsen win - Carlsen has white and does his thing.
- Game 15 = Carlsen win - Karjakin's last white he ends up trying to press a bit harder than typical, falls into time trouble, doesn't make it out.

In 2016 the Chicago Cubs did the impossible, winning 3 games in a row to win the World Series for the 1st time in 108 years. Also this year, despite the odds, Trump won and Brexit won.

Therefore Karjakin will win the World Chess Championship today.

The year of upsets^^

Karjakin did beat Carlsen in a world blitz game so

Carlsen wins! I am surprised the blitz matches are only two games should be 8 games than the armageddon.

Why do they always play the Ruy Lopez?

Ruy Lopez is the most popular opening at the top level at this time

I think Magnus will win.

The first two rapid games were tied. Carlsen won the third. The fourth is in progress!

Called it

Magnus is Love
