Magnus Carlsen, the living legend with five classical World Championship titles, faces Wesley So, the Filipino-American grandmaster celebrated for his clean, precise style and his multiple Chess960 (Fischer Random) world titles. The 2025 Réti Opening sets the stage for a deep positional battle — exactly the kind of terrain where both players thrive. Two very different styles, one board: expect subtle maneuvering and high-class chess from the very first move.
