Playing with black pieces the Russian chess player Sergey Karjakin squandered his first chance to take the lead in the 2016 World Chess Championship at the end of the game, when Magnus Carlsen, the reigning world chess champion from Norway, made a gross mistake at the 44th step. However, Karjakin showed undue caution and lost his advantage. The game full of surprising plot twists ended in a draw at the 51st step. Game 6 will be held on Friday, November 18. The match in New York had started with four draws, with both men trying to win the title of world champion.
