Funny.. against stockfish im always in bad shape
At least it is inefficient to think long. Why make blunders after move 35 if you can make them after move 14 ?
Also one should think mostly only in opponents time unless opponent is a speed chess champion.

The short time control games were more interesting and exciting than the long time control games
They should just play Rapid 30 10 games for the WCC 2017.

Not sure he saw "the whole thing", as in.. the mate-in-12 or so if black plays Bf8 instead of Kh7 😆
Of course he calculated to the last move. IF Bf8 you play Rxf8+ followed by Rxf7+ Ke8 Rf8+ with an easy mate pattern afterwards.
Carlsen must have seen the whole sequence when he played Rc1.

So, are we just going to ignore that he went from a tablebase win to a draw in the second game?
Yes, because I did not even watch that game

I agree the last games were the most exciting. Very good.

Karjakin lost because no communist party supporting the team.
It's over. Karpov, Kasparov were the last.

I think he lost more so because he was trying to hold (Carlson), more than he was trying to win. By hold, I mean hold him to a draw of course.

I mean relatively less money available, worse training, worse selection.
