All draws by threefold repetition!
I googled the format of the upcoming WCCM between Carlsen and Caruana and I see that it is a 12 game match so I guess I'll stop posting. However, I'll keep the match going just to get a bigger sample so I can understand hopefully more about this draw phenomenon. But, if anyone request to see the games I'll post them. When I'm done with the match I'll at least post the results. Thanks for watching!
EDIT: Game 13 is a petroff, Nimzowitsch Attack, just like in round 9 of the last Sinquefield Cup!
