Wesley So, renowned for his near-mechanical precision and rock-solid style, faces World Champion Magnus Carlsen — the all-time ELO record holder (2882 in 2014) and the undisputed king of chess throughout the 2010s. The Scotch Game, an opening famously revived by Kasparov in the 1990s, sets the stage for this clash between two positional giants in 2017.
