There was a lot of the same emotions as the game that I won against Karjakin (in Game 10 of the 2016 world championship), which was a marathon there as well. Obviously this is huge." Nepomniachtchi said that he felt it was reasonable to play for more than a draw in the game but admitted that the move 52...Qe4 was unnecessary. On the result, he added: "Anyway I would say that Magnus managed to capitalise on the very few chances he got. He got this game so that's very nice for him."
