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.

Cui bono ?

There are not bugs free programs.
There are programs with undiscovered bugs.

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

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

Naming them clowns are overevaluation Kim....

At least the clowns are specific kind of artisits that entertain people and they must possess special skills....

It's more like 2 monkeies who are playing chess after they suffered a severe head trauma....

And even then I think that they'll produce a better chess game regards,

The so called start fever in sport is not an excuse for this stupid 16 move chess game....

I wish that some of the decent people here from the elite computer chess community could address these two clowns regarding their first game in front of the world chess community....

Believe me,I won't be respectful at all regards,
