In the first round of the Meltwater Champions Chess Finals Carlsen won convincingly against Jan-Krzysztof Duda, but in rounds two and three he had some trouble before beating Shakhriyar Mamedyarov and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave in the tiebreaks. But in round four Carlsen found no recipe against a strong and confident Artemiev.

The first game ended in a draw but in the second game Carlsen lost after avoiding a slightly worse, but still drawish endgame.

Preparing to push the f-pawn. If White manages to open lines on the kingside, he can hope to get chances. However, first White has to give the e-pawn and the ensuing complications turn out to be in Black's favour. Ncxe5 32.f4 Nxc4 A strong counter. If White takes on c4, Black takes on g3. 33.fxg5 Sacrificing material and hoping for the best. 33.dxc4 Qxg3 34.fxg5 Ne5 35.gxh6 Bxh6 is no serious alternative. 33...Nxd2 34.gxh6 Bxh6 35.g5 Bxg5 36.Qg4 f6 At the moment, Black is a rook and two pawns ahead. 37.Rxe6 Rxe6 38.Qxe6+ Kh8 39.Qxd7 White regained some material but his king is also seriously exposed. Be3+? The wrong move-order. After 39...Qc1+ 40.Nf1 Rg8 Black is winning. 40.Kh1 Qc1+ 41.Nf1 Rg8 42.Bh4 And White suddenly has dangerous counterplay. Bg5 43.Bxg5 Rxg5 43...fxg5 44.Qe6 Threatening mate! Kh7 45.Qf7+ Rg7 46.Qf5+ Kh6 If Black is not careful, he might even lose: 46...Kg8 47.h6 Rf7 48.Qe6+- 47.Qf6+ Kh7 with a perpetual. 44.Qd8+ Kh7 45.Qxf6 Rxh5+ 46.Kg1 Nxf1 47.Qf7+ Kh6 48.Qf6+ Kh7 49.Qf7+ Kh6 50.Qf8+ Kg5 White now tries a last trick, hoping to make use of Black's time pressure. 51.Qxc5+!? Qxc5 0–1

Carlsen's defeat gave Wesley So the chance to close the gap to Carlsen. But So had to play against Hikaru Nakamura, and after four draws in the rapid match, Nakamura won the blitz-playoff 2-0.

In the second game of the playoffs, So and Nakamura discussed a line of the Scotch that is currently popular. It leads to difficult and messy positions that even top players find hard to handle, especially with a few minutes on the clock.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nxc6 bxc6 6.e5 Qe7 7.Qe2 Nd5 8.h4 Currently fashionable in this line of the Scotch. White wants to stop Black from playing ...g6. Black now has tried almost every possible move. a5 Popular alternatives are 8...d6 8...Qe6 and 8...f6 9.c4 Nb6 10.Nd2 10.Nc3 has been played more often. 10...g6 Black usually refrains from this move after White's 8.h4. 10...Qe6 11.h5 Bg7 12.Nf3 Qb4+ 13.Kd1?! White decides to leave his king in the middle - a risky idea. 13.Bd2 Qxb2 14.Rc1 was an alternative, e.g. 0-0 15.hxg6 fxg6 16.Qe4 threatening c5 followed by Bc4(+). After d5 the position is still complicated and both sides have chances. 13...Ba6 13...0-0!? 14.h6 Bh8 14.b3 14.h6!?

Nd5 18.f4 Nb4+ 19.Kb1 White's king would have been a bit more secure. 17...d5 18.exd6 Qd7 The position is a highly tactical and complicated, and hard to play correctly - much more so in a blitz game. 19.Kc2 Bxd6 20.Rd3 In this position the engines prefer White. Rhe8 21.Qf3 21.Ne4!? with the idea f5 22.Nxd6+ cxd6 23.Qd2 Kb7 24.Qxa5+- 21...f5 22.Be3? Putting the bishop on a rather vulnerable square. 22.Bf4!? Nd5 22...Kb8 23.Rad1+- 23.cxd5 Bxd3+ 24.Bxd3 Bxf4 25.Qxf4 Qxd5+- 22...c5 23.Be2? 23.g3= 23...Qe7? 23...Bb7-+ 24.Qh3 Kb8 25.g3 Bc8? 25...Qf6 26.Rad1 Rxe3 27.Rxe3 Qxg5-+ 26.Qh1? f4 27.gxf4 Bxf4 A complicated, messy game, until the very end. 27...Bxf4 28.Nf3 Bf5-+ 0–1
