 | | Eyal: In this tournament, at least, I know that players are claiming both threefold repetitions (https://twitter.com/TarjeiJS/status...) and 50 moves. |

 | | ChessHigherCat: <Atking: Well it is just a blitz but I don't understand why Carlsen sacrificed his Q.> Good question but I don't think he had any good alternatives. White is "forked" and if he moves the Q then NxR, BxR, and black can probably finagle another minor piece out of the deal (bishop or knight) |
