The Russian grandmaster, the former contender for the world chess title, the head of the Moscow Region Chess Federation, Sergey Karyakin, said that the Chinese Ding Liren was responsible for the time problem, as he lost the seventh match of the match. world chess crown to Russian Ian Nepomniachtchi. According to Karjakin, Ian could think of putting his opponent into a time problem, and he succeeded in doing so.
“It’s clear throughout the game as a whole that Jan was looking at his watch and playing from the point of view that it would be good to sharpen the position. When the opponent has little time, there will always be luck because it is psychologically difficult and accuracy is required. I think Ian thought about it and it turned out he was right. Jan is characterized by a quick game, but here too it has borne fruit in terms of time pressure. It is entirely Dean’s fault that he allowed such a time issue, ”Karyakin told socialbites.ca.
With Dean eight moves away from the time control, he had less than a minute left. In this case, he made a few big mistakes and eventually gave up. After the seventh game, the score was 4:3 in favor of Nepomniachtchi. The next game will be on Thursday, April 20, when the Russians will play with the black pieces.
