World Chess Championship 2021| Game 7

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."
