Calrsen, Karjakin with equal points after three draws at World Championship
Game 3 of the 2016 World Chess Championship ended in a draw, but it was an epic battle, WorldChess.com reports, adding If Sergey Karjakin, the Russian challenger, goes on to beat Magnus Carlsen, the reigning champion from Norway, and win the title, Game 3 may go down as the turning point in the match as Karjakin found a nearly miraculous way to force a draw.
As in Games 1 and 2, by move 20, most of the pieces had been traded off, but whereas that led to early draws in the first two games, things were just getting started in Game 3.
To note, the match, which was held in the South Street Seaport in New York City, is now tied at 1.5 points apiece. The first player to 6.5 points will become champion. The prize fund is about $1.1 million.
