11.26.16 Game 11 of the World Chess Championship was drawn before the first time control at move thirty-four. Another 1.e4 Ruy Lopez, this one got interesting when Carlsen essayed 19...d5 and sent Karjakin into a nearly twenty-eight minute think. A pair of bishops and rooks were quickly traded and Black was able to shepherd a pawn to e7. Just after Carlsen cleared the e8 square for his pawn, Karjakin played 34.Qe4+ with a perpetual and the players shook hands on the draw. The final classical game of the match will be played on Monday, November 28th with Carlsen controlling the White pieces.
