In the first round of the Croatia leg of the Grand Chess Tour current World Champion Magnus Carlsen continued to show great form by defeating Anish Giri with the black pieces. Since his match against Fabiano Caruana in London 2018 he used the move 3...g6 in answer to the Sicilian Rossolimo, but for this occasion he switched to another dynamical setup with 3...e6. Tonight we will discuss the current theoretical state of this line and show that Black has a lot of dynamic resources to compensate for the structural weaknesses. Some great attacking games have been played by Black in this line and once Magnus himself almost suffered a crucial defeat with White in the Candidates Tournament of 2013.
