hikaru fails to win and gukesh refuses to win. after 3 draws, their 2nd tiebreaker is going on

edit: gukesh is victorious, in their bid to not win a match. (he lost if you are neurodivergent)


back to the main highlight, world no 2 caruana vs no. 31 sindarov

neighbor caruana accepts draw in a totally winning position and when i say total, totally. -5.3 on the eval bar winning. https://i.rdrama.net/images/1739382551-jamnQY7sIbKEA.webp maybe the reason was he had a min on the clock and sindarov had whopping 24. whatever is the uzbeck version of voodoo, its working

they then had a nailbiting tiebreaker - that was a draw too and are currently playing their 2nd one. sindy will win it!

Is it still symmetrical between the sides? And how do you know the pawns aren't randomly arranged as well? :marseysmughips:
