In Game 5 Karjakin as Black just made a dramatic 13 ...Nxe4. Apparent Knight sacrifice for Pawn, is it a mistake?
Game_5 The equality after trades by Move 15 takes them out of book. With the open f-file for Black and isolated Pawn for White, Black stands better and the sidebar percentages dubious. White is thinking a long time on Move 16.
Karjakin is approaching 30 minutes spent on Move 19, and time is become factor unlike the two marathon Draws the last two games. Carlsen also took about 20 minutes last turn.
Approaching the 40-move time refresh, Karjakin has the percentage in the sidebar, but it looks like another 1/2-1/2 that may not resolve til 70 moves.
(18.11.16, 5-0-0 for all Draws. Game 6 today to be noted tomorrow.)
