Javier Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Karjakin had stated recently that younger players of his generation prefer faster time controls. Oddly enough, the first 2 games against Shirov ended in a draw, and it was in the 20 minutes games that Shirov was able to outplay Karjakin, who played very, very, very superficially. Alexei Shirov This is the game that ended it all. Shirov,Alexei (2739) - Karjakin,Sergey (2694) [C89] FIDE World Cup 2007 Khanty-Mansiysk (6.4), 11.12.2007 And here's the first game of the tiebreak.
