Game of the Week #450
Both Magnus Carlsen and Anish Giri recovered well from the Tata Steel Chess tournament and shared first place in the Opera Euro Rapid preliminaries with 9.5 out of 15. Both Nakamura and Nepomniachtchi suprisingly didn't make it to the knock-out stage. In the first knock-out round Carlsen was again paired against his friend and helper Dubov.
