World Champion Magnus Carlsen, the man who redefined what it means to dominate at the top level, faces Wesley So, the Filipino-American grandmaster celebrated for his ultra-solid, near-errorless style. The Queen’s Gambit provides a fittingly strategic backdrop for two players who make their living avoiding mistakes. Carlsen, whose hallmark is winning positions that should be drawn, puts So’s famous fortress to the test.
