Karjakin - Carlsen. Tiebreak, start time. How sergei karjakin lost the main match of his life to magnus carlsen - details about the tie-break Chess karjakin magnus time break
The main part of the match for the title of world chess champion between its current owner, Norwegian Magnus Carlsen and a Russian applicant Sergey Karyakin ended in a draw - 6:6.
The 12th game, in which Carlsen played White, turned out to be the shortest in the match. At a hurricane pace, by the standards of classical chess, the opponents exchanged pieces on the board, and 37 minutes after the start, having made only 30 moves (according to the rules of the match, this is the minimum number of moves at which you can agree to a draw), they made peace. As a result, the tenth draw summed up the main part of the match - 6:6.
It must be said that chess lovers, especially fans of Magnus Carlsen, were disappointed. Their idol, who seemed to have seized the initiative in the last games, showed extreme caution in the 12th game, not demonstrating his usual attempts to squeeze victory out of almost nothing. As for Karjakin, taking into account the fact that he played with Black, he was quite satisfied with the draw result.
Karjakin denied predictions
Summing up the main part of the match, we must admit that the forecasts of most experts did not come true - Magnus Carlsen did not achieve an easy and confident victory. Karjakin turned out to be not just a tough nut to crack, he created real problems for the champion.
After the defeat in Game 8, Carlsen was on the edge of the abyss. In the 9th Karjakin gained an advantage, and almost won the second victory in a row, in which case he would hardly have been saved by anything.
However, the Russian did not use his chance, Carlsen revived, achieved success in the 10th game in his style, and many again started talking about the fact that the champion would win in the end of the main part of the match.
This, however, did not happen. Having burned himself, Carlsen reduced the risk to a minimum, which ultimately led to a draw.
Tie-break - "extra time and penalty shootout"
In the past, there was a rule that a draw in a world championship match meant that the champion retained his title. Times are different now, and the winner must be determined, for which and.
A chess tie-break is, in football language, extra time along with a penalty shoot-out.
To begin with, the opponents will have to play 4 games in the so-called "rapid", or "rapid" chess. According to the regulations, each of the opponents is given 25 minutes per game plus 10 seconds for each move made.
If the winner is not revealed here too, a “penalty shootout” will begin - matches of two games in blitz with a control of 5 minutes plus 3 seconds for each move. As soon as one of the opponents manages to gain the upper hand in such a blitz match, further struggle stops. If 5 blitz matches from two games do not reveal the winner, the time of "Armageddon" will come. The white player will get 5 minutes per game against the black player's 4 minutes, but the draw will be considered a win for black. Thus, "Armageddon" in any case will reveal the winner.
Norwegian expects to repeat Anand's experience
True, the likelihood that it will come to this is extremely low. Most likely, the winner will be revealed earlier. In 2012, in the match for the world title between the Indian Viswanathan Anand and Israeli Boris Gelfand the fate of the chess crown was decided in Rapid. Anand won one game, drew three, and, having won the micromatch with a score of 2.5:1.5, retained the title of world champion.
Considering the ease with which Carlsen went for a draw in game 12, he is confident that he will have an advantage in the tie-break.
Indeed, the Norwegian is the world leader not only in classical chess, but also in rapid blitz, where he also holds the title of world champion.
Here, however, it is necessary to make a reservation - in "rapid" chess, Karjakin was also the world champion in his time. In personal meetings in "rapid" between rivals, a draw - each won three victories, and in two more cases a draw was recorded.
Yes, in blitz Carlsen has a significant advantage over Karjakin (8:3 with one draw). But, firstly, things should still come to him, and secondly, before the start of the classic part of the match, there were also many predictions about the advantage of the champion. How things turned out in the end, we know.
Who will receive a present on Carlsen's birthday?
The tie-break will take place on November 30, the day when Magnus Carlsen will celebrate his 26th birthday. The champion himself considers it a good sign for myself. However, in this case, it is unlikely that Sergey Karjakin cares about what his opponent thinks. The Russian has already proved that the role of an extra against the background of a brilliant Norwegian does not suit him at all. His tenacity has already played into the hands of Russian chess - in recent weeks, interest in it has grown significantly for the first time in several years.
According to the draw, Sergey Karjakin will play the first game of "rapid" chess with White.
And the last. Former world chess champion Garry Kasparov, who can be called the chess "godfather" of Magnus Carlsen, in an interview with Norwegian television called the reigning champion "great", while Karjakin, in his opinion, is simply a "good player". Sergey Karyakin has the opportunity to prove to his former compatriot that he is deeply wrong.
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 took place between the best grandmasters of the world for chess crown, however, according to its results, Russian Sergey Karyakin and Norwegian Magnus Carlsen could not identify 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 intkbbee 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.
Good day, dear friend!
Tie-break is used in many sports: For example, volleyball, tennis. Have you heard? This popular competition format has not bypassed chess. We are chess players and we simply have to know what kind of animal this is, a tie-break in chess, and what it is eaten with.
Moreover, at the 2016 World Championship in the match between Carlsen and Karjakin, the fate of the match was decided precisely in a tie-break. In the last, 4 parties. I hope you remember, and maybe even watched the broadcast.

What is itlike a tie-break in chess?
Tie-break is the continuation of the match. Origin of the word from English tie (draw) and break (complete, terminate).
When is the tiebreak played?
The main part of the match consists of a certain number of classical time format games.
If at the end of the main part of the match the winner is not revealed, that is, the match ended in a draw, the tie-break begins. Multiple games with shortened time control.
Most often 4 parties. If one of the players scores 2.5 points (for example, one win and three draws), he is declared the winner.
If the first tie-break ends in a 2-2 draw, then there may be options depending on the rules of the match:
- Another four-game tie-break
- Blitz match of two games
If in this case it was not possible to determine the winner, another blitz mini-match of two games is played. There can be only 5 such matches. No more. If here, too, there is a draw, then it will be the decisive game, which is called the terrible word Armageddon.
The usual time control in a tie-break is 25 minutes each for the entire game, with a few seconds added per move after that time.
There may be options with control, so you should always check the rules with the judge.
How to play tiebreak?
The strategy and tactics of the game with short control has its own characteristics. Let me give you a couple of recommendations:
Best the enemy of the good
Finding the best plan, the strongest move, the ingenious combination is all wonderful. But it is better to leave for the classic format of the game. All these delights require time to think. And in a tie-break, long reflections are an unaffordable luxury. The control is shortened.
Get your opponent in trouble
Try to get a position, especially in the opening, where the opponent has to play accurately.There is not much time, and in an unfamiliar position, the opponent can get nervous and make mistakes.
For this, many strong chess players have special opening preparations.
For example:
1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5 3.de d4 Albin's Countergambit
Boris Spassky's move.
Now Black should play accurately. Most players continue to develop pieces by inertia. four…. Nc6 5.f4 Cb4+6.Cd2 K8e7 7. Bd3
As a result, White has a powerful pawn fist in the center and an extra pawn. Much better for Black is 6…f6!, undermining the center. However, in practice, almost no one plays like this. The move is not obvious, it doubles the pawn, and over time, you won’t be able to especially clear up for evaluation.
Common tiebreak mistakes
Getting into time trouble
You can lead the game perfectly, with inspiration, force and beauty. However, chess players have this saying: the most difficult thing is to win a won position. If you do not leave yourself time to realize the advantage, all your efforts can easily go to waste in a time trouble.
Passion for calculating long options
Accurate calculation takes time and skill. As long as you are not a grandmaster, you should not overestimate your strengths. Even in your “most accurate” calculation, the opponent will almost always have the opportunity to turn “left”.
In a tie-break, try to play hard, avoid making gross miscalculations and not get into time trouble. And for the opponent's mistakes usually it will not happen.

What is a tie-break?
A tie-break is a shortened game that allows you to determine the winner in a draw. Translated from English, tie is a draw, break is to break, stop, which literally translates as “ending a draw”.
A tie-break in chess is played when the current champion and the challenger have equal points in the matches for the title of world chess champion.
According to the rules of the championship match, a tie-break consists of 4 games of rapid chess. Each player has 25 minutes per game, with an addition of 10 seconds per move. If these games also end in a draw, then two more blitz games will be played, for each of which the chess players will be given 5 minutes plus 3 seconds per move. If the score remains equal, then another match of two blitz games will be played. There can be no more than five such matches in total. If these 10 games do not reveal the winner, then the grandmasters will have to play the decisive game "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.
When will the chess players hold a tie-break?
Tie-break in matches for the chess crown will be played for the third time in history. Previously, it was held in 2006 in the match of the last Russian world champion - Vladimir Kramnik and Bulgarian Veselina Topalova(2.5:1.5), as well as in 2012, when the representative of India Viswanathan Anand beat the Israeli Boris Gelfand(2,5:1,5).
What prize will the winner receive?
The winner must score 6.5 points. The size prize fund is 1 million euros, the winner will receive 60 percent of this amount, the loser - 40 percent.
On the night of November 30 to December 1 Moscow time, chess fans waited with bated breath for the denouement of the confrontation between contenders for the chess crown - a 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 Sergei compete the reigning champion world 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.
