Magnus Carlsen managed to win the World Rapid & Blitz, but in this first episode of the year we have a look at another Norwegian star. Johan-Sebastian Christiansen managed to defeat two top grandmasters on the same day with essentially the same opening trap.

Both Anton and Gukesh were unfamiliar with a popular line in the Caro-Kann main line with 4...Nf6 5.Nxf6 exf6 and ran into a powerful piece sacrifice which leads to immense problems for Black.
