A comment I wrote at the New York Times about the 2016 World Chess Championship.

I have much respect for Mr. Karjakin. At one point despite the odds he was winning the match. Now he has to go home to a very disappointed Russia where chess is equal to American baseball. But he deserves congratulations for making Mr. Carlsen earn it.

A nice thing about chess is every chess player is your friend no matter country they live in. Thanks to the internet my living room is an international chess club. I play against Russians and Iranians and once with a North Korean. We are all friends.

I didn't put this in the comment but this is the very interesting last game which ended with a queen sacrifice: https://en.lichess.org/vsSu15yZ#0

Excellent article from Lichess.org about the entire 2016 World Chess Championship
