Master Class Vol.8: Magnus Carlsen
Scarcely any world champion has managed to captivate chess lovers to the extent Carlsen has. The enormously talented Norwegian hasn't been systematically trained within the structures of a major chess-playing nation such as Russia, the Ukraine or China.
Tonight we will have another look at the exciting Tata Steel chess tournament, live from the Wijk aan Zee studio. Firouzja recovered well from his loss against So and got back into the lead after beating both Giri and Xiong. The real test was waiting for him a bit later though, when he faced Carlsen and Caruana in a row. Tonight we will study the game between the World Champion and a possible future World Champion.
The live show is free to watch, and available on-demand for ChessBase Premium accounts.
