This loss seemed to have a major effect on Nepomniachtchi, who blundered the next game. Despite his material deficit, Carlsen took over the offensive. Yet, Carlsen paralyzed his opponent’s seemingly dangerous d-pawn while building up his own play on the kingside. Nepomniachtchi entered the endgame with an extra pawn, which he soon turned into a passed pawn. In game four, the Carlsen we know emerged.
With this surprise, Nepomniachtchi took the first match lead.Ĭarlsen continued to struggle to generate winning chances in the next two games. With a crafty reply of his own, Nepomniachtchi escaped into an even endgame with a better pawn structure.Ĭarlsen went about trying to press anyway in his usual style and made some headway, winning a pawn, only to end up blundering in time trouble. In the first segment, Carlsen seemed to be warming up as he pushed through to reach his regular form. After an inaccuracy by Nepomniachtchi, Carlsen discovered a tactical shot to open his opponent’s kingside but didn’t find a decisive continuation. Also, the 16th world champion has an unparalleled 56% win rate in Speed Chess Championship games in particular. Though the clash looked like it would be contentious in the blitz segment, Carlsen's nearly 3400 peak bullet rating highlighted a vast edge in that arena. In addition, he recently returned to Titled Tuesday just this week to win it for the first time in 17 months. However, Nepomniachtchi has a peak of over 3200 himself. In terms of who has the better chances, Carlsen's over 200-point edge in blitz rating speaks loudly.
