Karjakin - Carlsen: tie-break When will the decisive tie-break take place in the match for the chess crown between Magnus Carlsen and Sergey Karjakin. Armageddon awaits grandmasters Chess Karjakin Carlsen tie-break What time
On the night of November 30 to December 1 Moscow time, chess fans waited with bated breath for the denouement of the confrontation between the contenders for chess crown- Russian Sergei Karyakin and Norwegian Magnus Carlsen. 12 games of the match with classical time control ended in a draw - 6-6. But the final result was not in favor of the Russian athlete: Karjakin lost in a tie-break in four games - 1-3. Could Sergey compete with the reigning world champion in rapid chess? Opinions and emotions are shared by chess experts and fans.
Pavel Kolobkov, Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation:
- I would like to congratulate Karjakin on great game. Unfortunately, he failed to win, but he demonstrated good game, fighting and sports qualities. He has already said that he will be preparing for a rematch, which may take place in two years, and this is a very correct and good attitude. I think that he has potential, desire, skill.
Alexander Zhukov: Today, before the message to the Federal Assembly, I watched the broadcast at night, I was worried, I was sick. Very upset that Sergei could not win.
Naturally, we will meet with him, congratulate him. Let him come back, rest, because the match was very difficult
Alexander Zhukov, President of the Russian Olympic Committee:
- A breakthrough in chess has already happened, although I am disappointed with the result. Today, before the message to the Federal Assembly, I watched the broadcast at night, I was worried, I was sick. Very upset that Sergei could not win. He was not like himself and played slowly. But in general, Karjakin is a great fellow. Few people believed in him, and he played 12 games on equal terms against such a great chess player as Carlsen.
Hacked bus. Why Karjakin could not resist the champion
Sergey Karjakin was close to winning the chess crown, but lost to Magnus Carlsen. And together with the Norwegian, attacking chess won.
Boris Gelfand, contender for the 2012 World Chess Champion title:
- Carlsen won a well-deserved victory, as the tie-break went with a clear advantage for the Norwegian. Sergey gave him a worthy fight, led the score, did everything he could, and was entitled to count on a positive result for himself. But Carlsen is still stronger as a chess player, he has a wider arsenal of tools. In addition, time played an important role. It is very hard for Sergey now. I know this feeling. But, as the second world champion Emanuel Lasker said, we are responsible for our work, not for the result. Sergey can be proud of his work. He lost honorably.
Sergei Makarychev, grandmaster, author of the Chess Review program:
- What was objectively stronger was known even before the match, but this does not detract from the performance of both grandmasters. I did not expect that Sergey would give such a fight, but I thought that his chances could be quite high. The surprise was that Carlsen could be so helpless to such a strategy. This will still be sorted out and analyzed, because usually in such games the matches went according to a different scenario, more dynamically and uninhibitedly.
Boris Gelfand: We are responsible for our work, not for the result. Karjakin can be proud of his work. He lost honorably.
This time the defense prevailed, and the result is obvious. Looking back at the whole match as a whole, we can say that Sergei had a chance to take the championship. Had he not conceded in the 10th game, it is not known whether Carlsen would have managed to win back.
Alisa Galliamova, grandmaster, multiple champion of Russia:
- It's a pity. Was close. Unfortunately, Sergei played the last games far below his capabilities. And, of course, white. In half a year it was possible to bet something else, except for this Spaniard with d3 and a3.
Sergei Shavlo, former general director of Spartak:
- When I found out in the morning, it was a shame that it happened. But this is a worthy experience, Sergey will sort out the mistakes and become even stronger. It's a pity, of course, that he lost, but he is only on his way to Olympus, and Carlsen is already an experienced player, and therefore a little stronger at the moment. Sergey performed great and kept the game in suspense. On behalf of the veterans of Spartak, I would like to wish him good luck so that he climbs this peak and stays there as long as possible.
Karjakin played with us in the Spartak arena. Young guys played against him with interest, and veterans already looked at him as a future champion. Sergey is a modest guy, he behaved with dignity, he joked with everyone. A very positive person. I also managed to play with him, it turned out such an “open football”. Of course, he won, but there was also one draw, I think, with Sergei Mikhailov. He also plays chess, so he was able to compete. Generally decent games were, some parties dragged on.
Sergey Dolmatov, ex-mentor of the Russian national chess team, winner of the 1992 Olympic Games:
- At the tie-break, the result is absolutely fair. Usually in rapid chess both sides have chances, but this time it all went for Carlsen's clear advantage, Karjakin didn't even have a single chance.
Sergey Shavlo: On behalf of the veterans of Spartak, I would like to wish him good luck so that he climbs this peak and stays there as long as possible.
Perhaps this is due to the fact that Sergei had little rest.
Revenge? Now we need to think not about this, but about reaching the final again. There have been many examples in the history of chess when grandmasters reached the final once in their lives. But, of course, there are other examples as well. Let's hope that Karjakin will still fight for the world chess crown.
Andrey Filatov, President of the Russian Chess Federation:
- Sergei did not lose in classical chess to the world champion. This suggests that his work was the result of a drawn match. He did not take the chess crown, but he played a classical chess match with Magnus Carlsen in a draw. This is his highest sporting achievement and, of course, the entire coaching staff of Sergei. They don't call him "Minister of Defense" for nothing. The way he saved very difficult positions shows that he always fights to the end.

02:55. We are finishing our online report on how Sergey Karjakin fought for the chess crown with Magnus Carlsen and lost in a decent fight. He will have a chance for revenge - Karjakin will get into the Candidates Tournament without selection. In the meantime, you should just thank him for making the match so interesting and congratulate Magnus Carlsen. And with the victory, and happy birthday.
02:50. TV journalist Zhanna Agalakova made her conclusion following the results of the match: “Chess is gambling. Strong, young and comfortable - you can play chess on your smartphone at any time. The figure of Karjakin, of course, played a role in the incredible interest that exists now. The Russian has not been a world champion since 2007, when Kramnik lost his crown, and in our country there is a wave of patriotism on various occasions. There are many additional circumstances: Sergey is from Crimea and became a Russian citizen because he had no prospects in Ukraine. What needs to be done to maintain popularity? Yes, not much has already been done. A lot of people have pulled chess out of their cabinets, installed apps on their phones, and once you get into it, it's very hard to stop. You don't need to be a grandmaster - play and have fun. And it's better than being on social media."
20:30. Until the tension has reached its critical point, you can joke a little. "Blitz turns into Armageddon", and Kirill Zangalis approves of the joke.
20:20. Slowly, work begins in the studio, from where the match is broadcast along with well-known international grandmasters.
20:10. Two hours before the start of the tie-break, the press center is not crowded.
20:00. The title of world champion will be played in a tie-break for the fourth time in history. This happened earlier in 1998 when Anatoly Karpov beat Vishy Anand; in 2006, when Vladimir Kramnik defeated Veselin Topalov; and in 2012, when Anand outplayed Boris Gelfand.
19:50. Chess expert Vladimir Barsky called the tie-break a very special genre. “Both Karjakin and Carlsen play brilliant rapid chess. That's when the game starts, we'll see who feels better and looks more confident. Tie-break is a special genre of chess where the stakes are very high. A simple tournament in rapid chess is one thing, but in this meeting the world crown will be at stake, ”- Barsky.
19:40. Today, much will depend not only on psychology, but also on physical form. Sergei Karjakina was prepared for this match by the famous Russian tennis player Anna Chakvetadze. “Sergei asked if I could make a list of special exercises to prepare him for the camp. I developed a set of exercises that we practiced with, taking into account the specifics of chess. His physical form was not bad, he ran fast, but he also got tired quickly. Pulled up after class. When I flew to the training camp, I could no longer carefully keep my finger on the pulse. I hope that the form has not gone away, because you just need to support it, ”- Chakvetadze.
19:30. Three time winner Chess Olympiads GM Alexey Dreev assessed the chances of the champion and challenger in today's tie-break. “I believe that the chances of Karjakin and Carlsen to win in the current situation are absolutely equal. Both chess players are excellent at both rapid and blitz. But the long journey of 12 classical games tired and exhausted both,” Dreev said in the “Championship”.
19:20. 10 years ago, today's rivals did not even dream of such rooms.
19:10. Most likely, today the grandmasters will have no time to run into the rest rooms. But just in case, they look like this. With a window - Karjakin's room, without a window - Carlsen's room.
19:00. Today, in our broadcast, readers of the "Championship" will have access to an online board.

18:20. We have prepared material about this cheerful girl who will support her husband in the VIP zone.
18:10. The wife of Sergey Karyakin, Galiya, said that the preparation for the championship match was much harder for her husband than the match itself. “The preparation was harder from a psychological point of view than the match itself. The fact is that the preparation included training camps and minor competitions. Preparing for the game with Carlsen, Sergey spent almost all the time at the training camp, for two or three weeks. This is much more common than before he became a contender for the title. The process was noticeably more intense and richer than usual,” - Galiya, who is currently in New York.
18:00. But in this test you will not find the answer to the question of what relation the Bulgarian manager Silvio Danailov has to Sergey Karjakin. It turns out the most direct. In this photo, a very young Karjakin is sitting on the lap of world champion Veselin Topalov, and next to him are Danailov and FIDE world champion Ruslan Ponomarev.

17:33. There were no scandals in this match, the rivals treated each other very respectfully. Carlsen's demarche, who left the press conference after the eighth game, can be ignored. But in the history of chess matches for the world crown, such a world has not always been.
17:20. Opponents will play at this table with these figures. In the first rapid game, Sergey Karjakin has White.

For what reason and what are the alternatives - read in his interview.
16:50. These are the chess sets at the entrance to the building. It seems that no one tried to set them on fire, but a fire extinguisher would not hurt.
16:40. The match takes place on the top floor of the former Fulton Market fish market building.
16:30. Our correspondent Andrey Ivanov will tell about everything interesting directly from the scene.
16:20. By the way, today is Magnus Carlsen's birthday. The Norwegian grandmaster turned 26 years old. In previous championship matches with Vishy Anand, he gave himself excellent gifts. We hope that today Sergey Karjakin will also give him a gift - an autograph from the new world champion.
16:10. To begin with, we offer everyone who will follow our online to answer the main question.
16:00. Hello dear chess lovers. Today, on the last day of autumn, a new world chess champion will be determined. The "main" time of the championship match ended in a draw, now we are waiting for "overtime" - four games with a time limit of 25 minutes each, and if he does not reveal the winner, then the real "penalty shootout" - blitz and "Armageddon". Worthy, magnificent completion of an equal match of equal contenders. "Championship" starts a live online broadcast from New York, we will try to show you the championship tie-break from the inside as much as possible. The first batch starts at 22:00 Moscow time, and it will be awesome!
In New York, at the World Chess Championship between the Norwegian world champion Magnus Carlsen and the Russian challenger Sergey Karjakin, a series of twelve mandatory games with classical time control has come to an end. Now grandmasters will determine the strongest in a tie-break.
A little about the twelfth installment. Much can not be said about her, even with a strong desire. The Spanish game was rapidly played out. Almost all pieces were exchanged just as quickly. After the 26th move, there is only one bishop and six pawns on the board on each side. A position appears on the board, which in the jargon chess lexicon is defined as "a beaten draw".
Initially, it was obvious that no one would want to take risks in the last, twelfth installment, however, even the most skeptical experts and spectators expected to see some kind of confrontation. But the opponents were probably ready to part ways even after a couple of moves. However, since the rules of the tournament allow the adoption of a peace agreement only after the 30th move, the chess players literally "lasted" the game and immediately after overcoming this limit, they "painted" a draw, making this duel a record short one, both in this match and, more interestingly, throughout the history of World Chess Championship matches.
On the one hand, Magnus bluntly demonstrated to everyone the echoes of the game to win from the third installment. In the opening, the Norwegian even used a novelty - transferring the knight from b1 to c2 through the a3 square. But as it turned out, it was just a visual demonstration. The course of the twelfth game showed that a draw was a purely planned result, which suited Carlsen from the very beginning. But Karjakin didn't mind. Total: 35 minutes of playing time and 30 moves, respectively.
"Sorry to everyone who was waiting for a longer game today," said Magnus Carlsen after the game.
When asked why he is so eager for a tie-break that fell on his 26th birthday, the Norwegian intrigued in his usual manner: "You will see it for yourself soon." Carlsen also said that before that he had participated in tournaments on his birthday twice - in 2005 and 2007 at the World Cup in Khanty-Mansiysk, where both performances were favorable for him.
However, the organizer of the match, Ilya Merenzon, apologized more on the case for the Norwegian, saying that with the tickets that the spectators purchased for the 12th round of the match, it would be possible to come to the Footlon Market building on Wednesday as well.
"It was a very interesting match for me, to endure a draw with the world champion and the strongest player on the planet over a distance of twelve rounds in classical chess is already a feat. And I will not stop," Sergey Karyakin said.
During the press conference, the chief referee of the tournament, FIDE international arbiter Takis Nikolopoulos conducted a draw for the upcoming tie-break, which determined that Karjakin will start a series of four games in rapid chess with white.
We asked FIDE Senior Coach, Coach Sergey Karyakin and International Grandmaster Vladimir Potkin to sum up the results of the classical part of the match.
- Vladimir, you can't help but ask about the twelfth installment: "What was that?"
What happened in today's game is perhaps known only to Magnus. One can only assume that he planned one plan, but during the game something confused him, and he decided to postpone the fate of the match to a tie-break.
It is too early to give estimates. But the fact that the classical part of the match ended in a draw is already a great achievement for Russian chess. No one has ever been able to resist Magnus at such long distances. From the very beginning of the match, he tried to seize the initiative, but faced a very powerful defense, and later he even admitted that he managed to draw this part of the match. Undoubtedly, this result is a huge work that was carried out during the entire time after the Candidates Tournament by the entire coaching staff with the great support of the Russian Chess Federation and Andrei Vasilyevich Filatov, who heads it, with the support of Sergei's family and friends, as well as everyone who believed and continues to believe in him.
- Did everything go according to the scenario that you prepared?
It's hard enough to get things right when you're up against a strong opponent like Magnus and the brilliant work of the team that's been with him for so many years. Of course, we had a common strategy for the match, and we stuck to it. But after each game we made some adjustments, tried to optimize Sergey's preparation and form.
- What can you say about the upcoming fight, which will reveal the strongest?
First, the tie-break is already a separate type of chess, and, no doubt, it will be very spectacular. I think all the spectators are only glad that it will take place. And we, for our part, have already outlined a certain strategy, and we will adhere to it. Over the weekend we will try to accumulate as much strength as possible so that nothing distracts Sergey, we will tune in for the best. There is a positive atmosphere in our team, and there is no doubt that Sergey will be determined and will fight to the last bullet.
Note that, indeed, rapid chess and blitz for chess players are just other types of chess, even having their own codes in the All-Russian Sports Register of Sports, which differ from the classics.
"Karjakin has more chances in a tie-break, he is more experienced in such situations," said the 12th world chess champion Anatoly Karpov. The words of the legendary world champion confirm many facts: what is the value of Karjakin's tie-break at the 2015 World Cup against Peter Svidler. In addition, Sergey was the World Rapid Champion in 2012 when Carlsen finished second in that tournament.
In the tie-break, Karjakin and Carlsen will play four games of rapid chess with a time control of 25 minutes + 10 seconds per move for each opponent. If the score of the duel remains equal, the opponents will have two more games of "blitz" with a control of 5 minutes + 3 seconds per move for each player. Further, if necessary, four more blitz matches from two of the same games will be played. And with a completely unbelievable result, if even these ten games do not reveal a winner, the fate of the match will be decided by the so-called "Armageddon", where White has 5 minutes, Black - 4 minutes with an addition of 3 seconds for each move, a draw is counted in favor of Black.
Published on 29.11.16 23:57On November 30, 2016, in New York, Sergey Karjakin and Magnus Carlsen will meet in a tie-break, which will determine the World Chess Champion.
Tie-break Karjakin - Carlsen: when did it start
In New York on November 28, 2016, the tournament took place between the best grandmasters of the world for the chess crown, however, according to its results, the Russian Sergey Karjakin and the Norwegian Magnus Carlsen could not determine the strongest. Now the score between the chess players is 6:6, and, therefore, on November 30, 2016, they will have a tie-break.
As part of the tie-break on November 30, 2016, Karjakin and Carlsen will play four games of rapid chess with a time control of 25 minutes + 10 seconds per move intcbatch to every opponent.
If the score of the duel remains equal, the opponents will have two more games in "blitz" with a control of 5 minutes + 3 seconds per move for each player.
After that, if necessary, four more blitz matches will be played from two of the same games, and in a completely unbelievable scenario, if these ten games do not bear fruit, the winner will be determined in the so-called "Armageddon", where White has 5 minutes, and black - 4 minutes with an addition of 3 seconds for each move, and in this case a draw is counted in favor of black.
In turn, the first vice-speaker of the State Duma and the head of the Russian Olympic Committee, Alexander Zhukov, equally assesses the chances of a Russian and a Norwegian to win.
"I think that the chances are absolutely equal, and Karjakin proved that he is indeed a real contender, in no way inferior to the world champion. The result can be anything," Zhukov said, adding that if before the match, most experts estimated Carlsen's chances much higher than Karjakin, then the game showed that "this is a match of equal opponents."
Sergei Karjakin himself, following the results of the 12th game of the match for the chess crown, said that he felt the uncertainty of his opponent.
"In fact, he changed all the pieces, agreed to a draw. That is, playing white, you have a slight advantage, but he did not even try to develop it ... If he had a comfortable situation, he would, of course, play ( to win) in white," R-Sport quoted Karjakin as saying.
"There is a tie-break ahead, very difficult, because we will play four games in one day. This is at least ... The hardest day is ahead, but we will prepare," he added.
Karjakin - Carlsen. Where to watch tiebreaker online?
Tiebreak in chess, what is it? We are talking about four parties with a time control of twenty-five minutes. The winner of the tie-break will receive the world chess crown. If rapid chess does not reveal a winner either, then Carlsen and Karjakin will hold a blitz tournament, in case of a draw, chess players will also have “Armageddon” in it - one game in which White will have four minutes, Black will have five. In the event of a draw, the grandmaster playing black will be declared the winner. Tiebreak is a novelty in high-level chess; previously, as in boxing, in the event of a draw, the title was retained by current champion. And the longest match for the title was played in 1984-1985 by Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov. According to the results of their meeting, the score was 5:5 with forty (!) draws. Then the meeting was interrupted by the decision of the FIDE President. As for the broadcast of the game, it can be easily found on the Internet.
Karjakin - Carlsen, tiebreak. In what time?
The tiebreak between Karjakin and Carlsen starts at 22:00 Moscow time in New York. Experts still consider the Norwegian to be the favorite, although they admit that Karjakin is a very strong opponent. Serious attention is riveted to the match in Russia, which has not been paid to the game since Soviet times. At the same time, the event was recognized as commercially unsuccessful - only four sponsors cooperated with FIDE. Not without scandal. A US visa was denied to Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, President of the International Chess Federation (FIDE).
