  PawnSac: <offramp: I am an old-timer: it's weird to see 13...Nc6-e7 soon followed by 15...Ne7-c6.>

he can justify it based on white's Nxc4 threatening Na5, which Ne7-c6 stops. But yes brother, I feel your pain. With the help of computers the younger generation is breaking all the rules (wink).

Nov-29-21  optimal play: Uneventful 3rd game.

No real chances for either player.

There's more aggression between the Chessgames admins on this page than Magnus & Nepo over the board.

Nov-29-21  DouglasGomes: As Dubov would put it, a ""perfect game of Chess""

Excuse me, but you just made a very short-sighted statement. Did you actually watch and/or replay the game? It is a WCC-level discussion of the core ideas of chess, in quite a huge depth. Three excellent games so far, out of three.

  HeMateMe: if anyone thinks computer programming/system maintenance is easy, try taking some college programming classes. Tough material.

Be patient and let them work.

I will take your advice on this.

Excuse me, but you just made a very short-sighted statement. I did indeed replay the game and it was played exceptionally well by both Magnus and Nepo, with neither erring and giving the other any real chance to capitalise on a blunder. My comment therefore was not a criticism of the players but an accurate, albeit very brief, assessment of the this game.

Nov-29-21  KimInGym: Most precise and accurate game ever played in a World Championship?

  moronovich: It could very well be the case <KimInGym>.
Nov-29-21  Ulhumbrus: One justification for 14 Nh4 is that with the black knight on e7 obstructing the h4-d8 diagonal for Black's queen on d8 Black's knight on f6 cannot discover an attack on White's knight on h4 from Black's queen on d8

There were no mistakes in this World Championship game Fischer vs Spassky, 1972 even the strongest computers cannot find one.

I've noted up Game 3

Nov-29-21  The Kings Domain: Another fine game. Should the match take off the games should be really good.

  HeMateMe: Interesting that 30 years ago some promoter was able to find $5M for the Fischer/Spassky rematch. Somehow, the game needs to grow more.

  MissScarlett: True, we need more Ponzi schemes backing chess. How about the US Federal Reserve?

  Clement Fraud: The idea behind 8.a4 is to prevent d7-d5 ; and yet, there are three games in our database which suggest that White's move does nothing to stop Black from playing it anyway:

de Firmian vs I Sokolov, 1996

J B Bjerre vs Dubov, 2019

Kulaots vs S Mazur, 2021

Nov-29-21  VerySeriousExpert: 21.h3? is bad.
Here is a POEM by Yury V. Bukayev about the latest chess games of this great Match:

We name it after Morphy
In Open Games. It's worthy
To play it with a FUN!
"h3?" - Don't make it, Ian!

Published: jeromegambit.blogspot.com .

Nov-29-21  Ulhumbrus: One justification for 9 c3 followed by d4 without h3 is that with Black's bishop on b7 it will cost Black two tempi to play the bishop back to c8 and then to g4
Nov-30-21  Brenin: CG is stuck on move 10 this tlme. This is silly, and irritating for those who don't have time to follow the games live.

  HeMateMe: I think the guy who sponsored fischer/spassky 1992 was indeed convicted of running a ponzi investment fund scam but that had nothing to do with the chess match. I think the money was put up by chess enthusiasts, maybe some companies that advertised in the playing halls, in Split and Belgrade. I doubt there was ever any profit motive in a chess match.

He died not too long ago.

Many Jugoskandic customers may have been chess fans, but its not what they signed up for.

Nov-30-21  Saniyat24: One of the most accurate games...!
Nov-30-21  posoo: Shut it DOWN it is OAVER.

If THIS is most ACURATE GAME EVER PLAYED, then chess is FINNISHED.

Chess is for FUN and for SMASHING and there is NONE of that here. World CHAMPS? Call it world CHUMMPES.

Well played all hope u enjoyed the mastory!

Dec-17-21  kereru: The "most accurate" games are by definition also the most boring games. They usually involve book lines, (like Mikhalchishin vs Dorfman, 1984), or else a high degree of opening prep and/or simplified positions where it's almost impossible to make a mistake, as in the present case.

Quoting Tim Krabbe, "...I don't even need a board to type the moves of a game that consists purely of perfect moves: 1.d4 d5 2.Bf4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 e6 5.Bd3 Bd6 6.Bxd6 Qxd6 7.0-0 0-0 8.c3 b6 9.Nbd2 Bb7 and so on: the kind of game you sometimes see between weak club players. The Perfect Game is not worth looking at." (https://timkr.home.xs4all.nl/chess/...)

This is why correspondence chess, "advanced" chess and engine chess suck.
