Eight times before in world chess championship history the score was equal with one game to go. Only twice, there was a decisive game in this situation:
– Karpov won game 32 in 1978
vs Korchnoi;
– Anand won game 12 in 2010 vs. Topalov.#NepoDing pic.twitter.com/7ewAN1GMIp— Peter Doggers (@peterdoggers) April 29, 2023
