Game 10

World champion Norwegian Magnus Carlsen recovered in time and managed to match the world chess title match against Russian challenger Sergey Karjakin 5-5.
In the tenth game, Carlsen won with white after 75 moves, after which Karjakin announced his retirement. Thus, the definition was tied with two games ahead, which will be played this Saturday and next Monday.

Karjakin had defended himself with mastery throughout the world championship; However, the fatigue seems to have begun to make a dent and today, at no time, has been up to. Not having finished the champion yesterday and losing after not seeing a simple combination of draw at the beginning of the half game is a hard blow to self-confidence. Before the match he would have signed to be tied for lack of two matches.
