28/11/2021 World Championship Game 3
The third game between Magnus Carlsen and Yan Niepomniashchy was played on 28/11/2021.
Game 3 followed the course of game 1 for the first seven moves, then Niepomniashchy varied with 8. a4 rather than 8. h3. By move 32, things had reduced to a same-colour bishop ending with each player having five pawns. Carlsen’s pawns were all isolated, and two were doubled, whereas Niepomniashchy has three connected paws on the k-side against two isolated ones. Whilst a draw was not being agreed, it was not evident either side was really playing for a win, and a draw was indeed agreed at move 41.
