Robert Ris: "I have a look at two fascinating games between Firouzja and Carlsen, featuring the Sicilian Kan variation (2...a6 & 4...a6). In the first game, from the Julius Baer Generation Cup, Carlsen sacrificed a pawn and later his queen to secure equality and a draw.
In the second game, played in the Global Chess League, Firouzja deviated with 5.c4 to play against the well-known Hedgehog formation. Magnus showed his class in the middlegame but stumbled in the conversion."
