🔗 Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov63):
Incredible game. 7 hours, 45 minutes of peak concentration at the highest level of competition. Remember this when you hear chess isn't a sport, or that physical condition isn't so important. Or when they say classical chess is dead!

Carlsen is drawing parallels: "I remember my first match against Vishy when I broke through and won the 5th game, then I managed to gradually equalize in the 6th and eventually win. I was slightly hoping that we could follow a similar scenario, but a draw is a very nice result."

Today's second game 🤗 was very solid. There was not much difficulty for Magnus, he played a nice, expected forcing idea by giving up the center but as it became concrete simplification was the way to draw game 7. ✅
