Game of the Week #414

The Lindores Abbey Rapid Challenge turns out to be yet another interesting online format. At some point Carlsen lost the momentum he had at the very start, but by now he has qualified for the third stage, just like Nakamura. In this week's lecture we will focus on the exciting match Karjakin-Dubov.

The live show is free to watch, and available on-demand for ChessBase Premium accounts.
