Game 7
The seventh game of the New York World Championship between the Norwegian champion Magnus Carlsen and the Russian candidate Sergey Karjakin, ran the same fate as the previous ones, finishing for the seventh time in a draw. It can be said that the halo of invincibility and superiority given by experts, including the mythical Gary Kasparov to Carlsen, is failing.
It can be asserted, based on cause, that the balance of chess forces between both talents of the board is a great reality.
As for the seventh game, started with a gambit of slav queen defense, Karjakin chose already in the fourth move, a very solid line, avoiding a theoretical fight. Carlsen replied with a novelty, turning away from familiar roads, but he did not gain any advantage. The half game was interesting and, to some extent, complex. The GM. Russian, achieved some positional superiority that reported the gain of a pawn but was, practically, very difficult to materialize by the presence of different color bishops.
With precise movements and forced changes of material was reached a position impossible to force, although Karjakin maintained the insufficient advantage of the pawn.
