Wow! The WCC Match Between Fabi And Magnus Goes To Game 12. Final Classical Match.
November 25th, 2018
I would never have believed it, but we are facing the final match with no victories and only draws. I think it is imperative that Fabi wins game 12, as his Rapid skills are not those of Magnus. Fabi calculates well, but to allow yourself to have to face Magnus in a tiebreak in Rapid. Well, it is not an enviable position to say the least.
