In recent online tournaments Magnus Carlsen did not fare too well against Daniil Dubov. At the Steinitz Memorial in May Carlsen lost against Dubov and a few days later the World Champion lost another game against his young rival, this time at the Lindores Abbey Tournament.
In round 4 of the preliminaries of the Chessable Masters Carlsen tried a bold and inspired exchange sacrifice against Dubov and reached a promising position, but then the World Champion lost the thread and the game.
But Carlsen recovered from this setback and started the second part of the preliminaries with a fine and convincing win against his old rival Hikaru Nakamura.
In round 9 Carlsen had Black against Dubov and continued to show powerful and inspired chess.
In his Weekly Show Lawrence Trent takes a closer look at this fine performance by the World Champion.
Make life difficult for the Sicilian! 2.b3 is a thoroughly venomous but still solid kind of "Anti-Sicilian". No matter what setup black chooses, the bishop on b2 will always be unpleasant for him.

The Fashionable Caro-Kann Vol.1 and 2
The Caro Kann is a very tricky opening. Black’s play is based on controlling and fighting for key light squares. It is a line which was very fashionable in late 90s and early 2000s due to the successes of greats like Karpov, Anand, Dreev etc. Recently due to strong engines lot of key developments have been made and some new lines have been introduced, while others have been refuted altogether. I have analyzed the new trends carefully and found some new ideas for Black.
