The first game here shows a non-combative attitude. This is going to be a lifeless WC I am afraid.

They should not get paid for draws.
These two funny guys should not be able to offer a draw.
How are these two guys qualified to know that their opponent would play the next 50 moves to a draw?
Money should be deducted for blunders.
What are they getting paid a million dollars each? not sure
so they should deduct $50,000 for each blunder.
maybe they should be deducted $100,000 each for draw.
I used to like the top human matches but after programs got so high level and the programs show how low level the top human players are, I am not amused by these human matches.
These SGM should stick to something entertaining like taking on 50 low level opponents or playing against 10 opponents blindfolded.
draw in 16, now that's funny. I think these two clowns should draw in 14 the next game just to show all the low level fans who's running this circus.

Hi,

if Anand had been confident he would have played on the game.
MC has passed 1st start fever.

Betters seem very rational, with only small changes: 74%/26% for Carlsen.
Simulations give 76%/24% for Carlsen.

Yes, I agree. That is a good observation.

they are not paid by fans.

they can decide to optimize they costs and get money for the smallest effort

yes, big money for smallest effort makes a joke out of the match.

Are you kidding me

I have games against Chess Sytem Tal II that will down this game to the deepest archives of the chess history....

To say I am disappointed is a major understatement regards,
