        Draw #4 today... it seemed there might have been some ideas along the way for more, but in the end Magnus just repeated position after a few long thinks.

          I thought Magnus would have won on his birthday but I was wrong. Happy Birthday Magnus. It wont be euphoric but you were better in the game, if thats any consolation.

                Nepo, in game 5 missed 20 c4 !, which would have put Magnus under a lot of pressure. + 0.8 according to Stockfish. Both Fabiano Caruana and Anish Giri said that black position would have been difficult after that move,

                Nepo is playing very well and he constantly puts some pressure on Magnus. He surprises me. It seems it is going to be a very close match after all. No najdorf or grunfeld yet from Nepo and a surprising but very solid Petroff where Magnus obtained nothing from the opening.

                Nepo did some very good preparation for this match, it will be difficult.

                  Magnus now has a very strong game with 2 rooks and knight against queen and bishop, he now is close to winning but he has not much time. Exciting !

                    Magnus just blundered and it is now Nepo which is better. Rd1 is a mistake and Rdc2 was near winning. Disappointing from Magnus.

                      Now the position has stabilized with Magnus having a slight edge in a very complicated position, but I think Magnus does nit risk losing anymore. He was winning and then near lost before, what a game.

                        Now it is a drawn position. Probable wins or big advantages missed by both players. Boy, is chess a difficult game !?

                            Totally agree with you Hans, this is a great game, up and down but nevertheless great.

                              Magnus will win this game, what a game brillant win in N and R + 2 pawns against Q. The Magnus touch !

                                Fischer played five Alekhine's: two wins, three draws. Wins over Duncan Suttles at Palma IZ 1970, and Boris Spassky G13 in title match.
