Absolutely, see you on chessbomb :)
#10 Couldn't agree more. I probably wouldn't even watch a 3rd Carlsen-Anand match, I can't imagine anything more disappointing. The old guard needs to stand down and we need to start seeing the new generation battling Carlsen. It will be good for chess.
To be honest. I wanna see Maggy vs Vishy Again ! But I think that He should Withdraw From Candidates :P For Chess sake.
Well then its Caruana playing for a win tomorrow else Karjakin will take the championship match with Carlsen!
What if Karjakin draws and Anand scores a win against Svidler?
In this case, Caruana will be qualified.
Also Anand can't come first so he might just make a quick draw on the final day and be done with it. OR he might feel compelled to play for a win for the sake of justice
And Giri maybe will make his 14th draw in this tournament.
FIDE EXPLANATION of a possible three-way tie-break:
"Tie-breaks (Important): If Caruana, Karjakin and Anand share the first place - Caruana qualifies on the best tie-break. If Caruana and Karjakin share the first place - Karjakin qualifies."

According to ChessBase, we're officially safe from disaster: Anand CANNOT qualify for the WCC.
