-11th game drawn
From Donald Duff in New York
When the 12th and final match of the FIDE Agon Limited-sponsored world title match between defending champion Magnus Carlsen and challenger Serjey Karjakin takes place tomorrow, both players realise that a win will be enough to land the first prize and the accolade of world champion.
Following yesterday’s 11th round match at the Fulton Market Building, Manhattan, New York, which ended in a draw after a mere 34 moves, the players are now tied on five and one half points each.
The winner of the championship will be the first person to score six and one half points, and he will receive 60 per cent of the US$ 1.1 M prize money, while the loser will receive the remaining 40 percent.
