      Not all draws are equal. Ian had to play a sequence of perfect moves including two sacrifices being already down on material, and those moves aren't obvious. He had to calculate quite far ahead to see it works.

      This game was interesting as Nakamura was on a good advantage with up on time and with a one mistake Nepomniatchtchi found a tactical draw sequence by sacrificing many pieces. You know if this wouldn't be a perpetual Nakamura would've won the game but that's what nepo calculated that it would end in a perpetual check. This was probably the best game yet in the whole candidates.
