What the hell is a “high-scoring draw”? More crappy chess journalism.
Relax, anon at 4:54, “water shed” was just poking some benign fun at anon at 1:49, who misspelled “Carlsen” as “Carlen”.
(Fun fact of the day: Magnus’ last name is also often misspelled “Carlson”; last names ending in “-son” are common in Sweden, whereas last names ending in “-sen” are common in Denmark and Norway.)
lol….”high-scoring draw” ?!! what was the score …a 5-5 draw 🙂
“The Russian beat India’s Vishwanathan Anand” – ????!!!!
Sure Kramnik won the tournament –
