Game 1 : Carlsen-Karjakin Drawn !

https://worldchess.com/2016/11/12/world-championship-game-1-draw/


Official website for Chess Championship 2016 : Worldchess


https://worldchess.com/


The World Champion had White, but was unable to crack the defense of the challenger

Black: Sergey Karjakin 

White: Magnus Carlsen


Position after 21 Ke2. White has a better structure, but Black is very solid and can defend both wings. Magnus tried to make progress but Sergey held on easily.
