Carlsen-Karjakin Game 8

@TheChessPrince

I agree with Mehdi Mehdikhani's response:

"He didnt talk to the press after the game and sergey was doing it. that is the reason he had to wait."
Carlsen already has a life time worth of achievements

Lets see what time will tell
The previous seven draws weighed a lot on Carlsen, it seems. He lost patience, he played so irrationally in this game, as if he was in a must-win situation. Such crazy risks cannot be justified.
@IsolatedPun-Youtube;

Karjakin's strategy will be playing as solid as possible, forcing symmetrical positions or "dead" positions. With only 4 games to finish the WCC, the best thing Karjakin can do is to put in safe that -by so far- epic win.
@Zahier

But I am still sure that Carlsen will do his best to keep pieces on the board, and stop playing these boring openings. Maybe play a benoni or something. =)
