Sergey Karjakin vs Magnus Carlsen | 2016 World Chess Championship | Game 9

World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen defends his title against challenger Sergey Karjakin in Game 9 of the 2016 World Chess Championship match that is being held in New York, USA. It’s a best of 12 games where the first player to earn 6.5 points earns the lion’s share of a $1.1 million prize pool, and the title of “World Chess Champion”. Is it already do or die for Carlsen? Should he take an aggressive approach to try and strike back even though he’s playing with the black pieces? Well that question is answered right in the opening stage as Carlsen opted for another sharp gambit line out of the Ruy Lopez. Would the compensation be enough to translate into a significant advange for black, might such an approach backfire and set him back even further, or something else? In the sharp middlegame that arises, any side could stumble.

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
