Two games where white had to hold a draw. Pretty unexpected. But a good sign for the tournament. Unless both players decide to respec to boring over the rest day.

It is the platonic spirit of e4e5: Go through some crazy looking but straightforward sequence. Go directly to a queenless endgame. Draw.

If this kind of position occurred between unrated players I would give it similar chances of winning, but a low chance of a draw. Though again, black is the one with the slight advantage. Pretty interesting, that trend. I blame excessive preparation. e: with the pawn sacrifice at a5 it now almost looks like a reversal of Carlson-Nakamura at the sinquefield cup.

It reminds me of every game in this match, except in reverse. Mostly we got Magnus using lots of time to gain a minuscule advantage in the opening, which he loses in moves 20-40. Now we have the players switching time management strategies.

I must admit that I have no idea if I would want to play black or white in an Armageddon game.
