Carlsen CHEATED by touching his pawn before moving a rook! BHut of course the rules are different for him.
This is not "cheating". The rules are clear. If Karjakin had a complaint, he had to make it before making his own move.
A better conspiracy theory is that they had the doping control after Game 9, so now they both could take as many PEDs as needed since there is unlikely to be another one.
Karjakin should abandon the Ruy Lopez as black and deploy the French opening.
Game Eleven: Another draw, not very exciting, although Magnus attempted to complicate things a little bit when he had the chance.
No game on Sunday. Game Twelve on Monday. I expect Magnus to play a solid, modestly aggressive game without taking significant risks, while Karjakin will play his usual solid and cautious game. Magnus probably feels confident in his ability to defeat Karjakin in the faster tiebreak games, but Karjakin is no slouch in rapid and blitz. Edge to Carlsen, but very much up for grabs.
Hope I get to watch some of this one. Very busy day trying to catch up from Thanksgiving weekend.
Can someone explain to this dummy where to listen to the stream of Svidler's commentary?
Not worth it this game. Dead draw from the opening. Carlsen would rather take chances in 4 rapid, than 1 standard.
Move 22 and already looks like a dead draw. Exchanged off all the pieces early. Have to wait to move 30 to offer a draw.

Karjakin won the first "modern" (2012) Rapid World Championship, though Carlsen won their individual game (and was quite annoyed he didn't get the title).

Hope you didn't waste $75 on attending this one.

Wrong, they upped the price to $200, and only sold tickets once they knew the game was necessary.
Yeah, Agon sure knows how to kill an audience: Were fans on site disappointed? It's hard to say since there was fewer than any other round.
Having an extra off-day before Game 12 is already lame, worse here because it was a weekend. Their excuse? It's been like that since 2006 (when the modern 12-game match began). Well, the previous matches were trying to be run on a commercial basis, but had large sponsor patronage...
Game 12 was cowardly.
I hope I have this right:
For those who are following the 2016 World Chess Championships, Magnus Carlsen and Sergey Karjakin are tied 6-6 in the 12 game match.
To break the tie, on Weds., Nov. 30, 2016 at 2 pm they go to another match: A four game rapid chess match. Whoever wins this mini-match is the World Champion.
What is rapid chess? Well, the way I understand it, each player will get 15 minutes to make his moves, and he'll get 10 seconds added to his time as he makes each of his moves.
What happens if they're tied after the rapid chess match?
They play up to five 2-game matches of blitz chess.
What is blitz chess?
Each player gets 3 minutes to make his moves, and he'll get two seconds added as he makes each of his moves.
If they are still tied after four rapid games and ten blitz games, an Armageddon game will be used to break the tie.
What is an Armageddon game?
A game guaranteed to produce a result, because Black has draw odds (that is, for Black, a draw is equal to a victory). To compensate, White has more time on the clock. Common times are six minutes for White and five for Black, or five minutes for White and four for Black.
Believe it or not, an Armageddon game has been needed in the past. Let's hope not this time.
I believe that all these matches could potentially be played on Weds., Nov. 30: Rapid, blitz if needed, and Armageddon, if needed.
The closing ceremonies are also on Weds. Nov. 30.
Tomorrow we should have our World Champion.
Some sad news from the chess world:
Karjakin is good at drawing. It would be interesting to see the 4 minute black Karjakin vs 5 min white Carlsen game. I want the games to get to that point.

You've got the basic idea, but some of the details are off. According to Svidler (and confirmed on the chess24 web site), the time controls and increments are as follows:
1. A four-game match with 25 minutes + 10-second increment rapid games
2. If the scores are equal, then a maximum of five mini matches of two blitz games at 5 minutes + a 3-second increment
3. If those 14 games have proved indecisive, a single Armageddon game, where White has 5 minutes to Black’s 4, but a draw will make the player with Black the World Champion.
Magnus picked a black pawn during the press conference, meaning he starts the first rapid game with the black pieces.

Thanks, Avocado. Was reading off a wiki site, so I thought the details might be off.
I'm assuming everything happens tomorrow, so we'll have a world champ at the end of the day.
One note: In rapid chess.
Carlsen gets mad too easily and then loses on time.
Let's watch and see.
