So, W. – Carlsen, M.

2760 2019 · Draw

Wesley So, the 2019 Fischer Random world champion — a title he won by beating Carlsen in the final — sits across from the Norwegian who had topped the rating list for years. So is famous for his ultra-clean positional style, Carlsen for squeezing wins out of positions everyone else calls drawn. This time it’s Carlsen taking the risk, offering a pawn in the Benko Gambit for long-term queenside activity.
