Biel Rd.7: Post-game analysis, statistics of an exciting event

And if you look at the lengths of the games you also see a marked difference: in 2010 there were six games of less than 23 moves, and a total of 17 games of less than 30 moves (16 draws and one black win). This year so far, with slightly less than half the number of games played, there have been zero games of less than 23 moves, and just three with less than 30 moves (including a win by Carlsen over Caruana in 27 moves). Possible conclusions: odd years produce more exciting chess, or it has something to do with global warming, or it is critical to invite the right mix or players.
