7:07 is the moment. Alekseenko touches a piece and he realizes it's a blunder but somehow managed to draw! Edit: My guess is that Alekseenko probably wanted to move Ng3 to Nf5 and then to Nd6 to block the open d-file. But moving that Knight takes away the protection of the e4 pawn. Since he touched that Knight and since it is a touch-play rule, he moved Ng3 to Ne2 and lost the pawn in the centre. The balance tilted immediately in Black's favor. You can see the evaluation (right above the display board) changes from = (-0.21 meaning the position is equal and slightly favorable to Black) to -5 points (highly favorable to Black). However, Alekseenko managed to draw and it is not an easy feat against Magnus!
You got the eval bar up there that's nice. If you use a darker color for the arrow when a move is played it would be appreciated. (The yellow arrows sometimes are difficult to find in the light background in a fast game)

Some comments say that it is not a draw but after the h5 move of the pawn we have the first occurrence and the following sequence 10:29/10:31 h5 (1st occurrence) Rc3 10:35/10:42 Kh2 Rc2 10:43/10:44 Kg3 (2nd occurrence) Rc3 10:45/10:47 Kh2 Rc2 the next move is not played but with white Kg3 there would be a 3rd occurrence and thus it is a draw. Because it goes so fast, it is a bit difficult to rewind and check what happened, but it is a clear draw.
I agree that it's a draw. But for many people the word 'repetition' is confusing, because it comes from 'repeat'. Some people interpret the first repetition of a position as the first re-occurrence of a position, which is the second occurrence. The rule says that you can claim a draw at the third occurrence of a position, which in this interpretation is the second repetition.
@@foxware5587 yes that's right. I should have written 'occurrence' where I wrote 'repetition'. I have edited this now to help future readers who may not get to your comment.
@@Macsimus75 in the last you see they were repeating moves with the king and the rook respectively. This basically means no side wants a change in the position. So on this notion, there is a rule of three fold repetition, where both players repeat the moves three times and the game is then called a draw. Hope you understood.
The rule says that a game can be a draw if a same position repeats three times, no necessary in a row. Here, I think if the oponent moves the king to g3 again there is a position like that. He claims the draw before to move because he is in a worst position I think. Sorry for my english jeje 😅, BR.
Agreed. Kirill mistakenly assumed it was the third repetition because he overlooked the b-pawn movement, and with only seconds left and full focus on calculation Magnus probably just didn't notice or decided it wasn't worth fighting. He spent quite a while before choosing to repeat the rook check, which means that to that point he hadn't found a better way to continue.
@@dhochee You are wrong. Nothing was overlooked. After Kirill would have played Kg3, the exact same position would have been on the bord for the third time. That's why he could claim the draw.
@@foxware5587 No, you are not correct. After the Kg3, that position would only be the second repetition. Pay attention to the position of the rook and b-pawn.

The same thing happened to me yesterday, I was at rapid tournament, last round and I my opponent played King's Indian. I had a very good position through out the game, she blundered a piece and was in time pressure. 1 illegal move and she was out of the pressure. I was just winning but I lost and came 13th, if I had won, I would've secured the 4th place by 5.5 out 7 points. But lost I was heartbroken.
It's a draw because of threefold repetition. Kirill could have played Kg3 and after that the same position of the pieces would occur for the third time. So Kirill claimed a draw.
I don't understand the draw at th end. The positions on the board were only repeated second times. I thought it is a draw when position is repeated 3 times in a row?
Black let so huge advantage to slide away . 10:24 66...b3 was already bad and 68...b2 was disaster . How he could have won ? 66...Rc2 + 67.Kg3 e4. 68 h5 Nf1+ 69.Kf4 e3 ! Black had 3 passers, 2 of them were connected, to rush with b-pawn was huge mistake. He had to be patient and to coordinate his pawn movements. Of course there was time trouble, they had to play using familiar patterns from their training and instincts rather than exact calculations, but Carlsen chose just wrong plan . Carlsen to waste -7 advantage as black does not happen every day. But somehow it does not make me feel better when I waste same advantage in tournament game .
@@sergeyst69 I had the same blindness. Only two repetitions appeared on the board, but after White will play Kg3 it will in fact be a third repetition.
The funny part is that after a miracle hold white h5 is again a blunder because nf1+ the king can't go to h4 and kf3 will yield nd2+ and secure b1Q=. Carlsen repeated the winning position twice, didn't spot it and went into a threefold.
Does Magnus have any plans to use his incredible intellect on something other than chess? Maybe something like rockets to mars, or underground car tunnels, or something kinda useful.

Did he grab the wrong piece while intending to play Nxe5, to get a loose pawn?
No see carefully he moved the same knight
@@fezan173 Yes, I appreciate that, but the question really is why was he not going for the other knight instead, to get the free pawn on e5?
@@foobarrel9046 if you touch a piece then you cant move other piece on this turn
