so-so, I have a pretty good grasp of key fundamentals, however, watching the championship can't really follow what they're trying to do

Another draw, 7 draws in a row.

[FONT=&quot]Russian challenger Sergey Karjakin tried a new opening but got a familiar result as he and world chess champion Magnus Carlsen played their seventh straight draw of their scheduled 12-game world title match in New York City Sunday.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Karjakin, playing White, opened with 1. d4 after three straight king-pawn openings, but failed to generate much of an initiative against the Norwegian champion’s Queen’s Gambit Slav Defense. Just when Black appeared to have equalized comfortably, though, an apparent miscalculation by the champ gave White an opening.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Black’s 16. Ba3 Rc8?! was not the best (more solid was 16…Rb8), as after the tricky series of exchanges 17. Nf6+ Bxf6 18. Bxb7 Bxa1 19. Bxb4 Bf6 20. Bxf8 Qxd1 21. Rxd1 Rxf8 22. Bxa6, Karjakin emerged a pawn ahead.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]But as in several games in the match to date, the simplified position featured bishops of opposite colors, and after 22…b4!, locking down White’s queenside majority, Carlsen encountered little difficulty in holding the ending. In the final position, White has no good way to advance his a-pawn and thus can’t cash in on his material advantage. After 32. g4 g5 33. Ke4 Rc8, the two players agreed to split the point.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Elite-level chess between evenly matched grandmasters can result in a high number of draws, but even the players appear to be getting a little impatient at the lack of decisive games. Although both Carlsen and Karjakin have had chances to break through, “the last two games have not been so interesting,” Carlsen conceded after Sunday’s draw.[/FONT]

They play 12 games, and if tied after that, they go to faster games..

The 12-game match is taking place between 11–30 November in the renovated Fulton Market Building (formerly Fulton Fish Market) in the South Street Seaport in New York City,[SUP][4][/SUP] with the two contestants competing for a prize fund of at least 1 million euros (US$1.1m).[SUP][5][/SUP] If the score is tied after 12 games, a four-game rapid chess match will be played, then five two-game matches of blitz chess if necessary, and finally, an Armageddon game will be used to break the tie (Regulations 3.7).[SUP][2][/SUP]

[FONT=&quot]Norwegian chess superstar Magnus Carlsen could be punished after storming out of a press conference following his defeat against Russia's Sergey Karjakin in New York on Monday.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The 25-year-old lost the eighth game in his 12-game World Championship showdown with Karjakin – the first victory for either player after the first seven matches ended in draws.
After the match, Carlsen took his place on the press conference podium and waited for the Russian grandmaster to finish speaking with reporters.

He quickly grew impatient, eventually standing up and storming away before the post-match questioning started.
The moment of petulance could cost Carlsen around $63,000 if he goes on to claim the title, with players facing a fine of 10 percent of their prize money if they fail to attend a press conference.

Torstein Bae, a chess expert for Norwegian broadcaster NRK, said Carlsen's performance showed he was feeling the pressure.
“Karjakin won because he was the one who kept his cool,” Bae told the local.no website.

“Carlsen is number one in the world and was a big favorite. Karjakin is ranked ninth and now leads. There is no doubt that Carlsen is not in top form.”
Karjakin dismissed the notion that Carlsen had played badly, saying his opponent had put him under pressure.
“He really tried and he sacrificed two pawns and he created a really interesting game but somehow he did not manage to make a draw,” said Karjakin, worldchess.com reported.

“Thanks to Magnus, it was a really big day.”
Karjakin now leads Carlsen 4.5 to 3.5 heading into Wednesday's ninth game.
The first to reach 6.5 points will be crowned world champion and will take home $636,000, with the runner-up pocketing $425,000.
If Karjakin wins he will become the first Russian world champ since 2007.
