Game 9. Carlsen has now used 16' after Karjakin's ordinary Move 33 Q-c2, to Carlsen having 13 minutes left to time control, and that carelessness cost Game 8.

Game_9.

On Move 39 Karjakin has over 25' and Carlsen under 2', so little remarked strategy in case here is for Karjakin to choose not necessarily best move, but one that forces longer time spent to make reply. Imagine, Karjakin reaches 20' one one turn at this stage with advantage but no noticeably very good move. Okay, he was calculating Bishop sacrifice brought about by his Move 39. Whichever way, the Game 9 now and Game 8 are the two best of the match, and Game 9 feels to be decisive too at Moves 42.
