Carlsen v Nakamura 6 move draw ?

[Scally]

Hi all,

Did anyone else see this disgraceful game between Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura yesterday?

Quick draws aren’t allowed, but they managed a 3 fold repetition in 6 moves …

What do you think?

I’m not surprised that Picochess v3 couldn’t name the opening, apparently it’s called the Bongcloud opening & counter Bongcloud. I’ll add in to my database.

Adding all these variations to the  “opening_name_fen.txt”  file is going to be a bit trickier as it needs FENs of all the positions.I suppose I could just add the 2. Ke2 and 2…….. Ke7 variations.
