The Weekly Show: A beautiful display by Wesley So

I am going to be summarizing the action from the Magnus Carlsen Invitational and specifically taking a look at arguably the best game of the preliminary stage — So v Aronian from round 6. A beautiful display by an in-form Wesley So.

But first, a warm-up question from Nepomniachtchi v Pichot. The Argentinian wildcard just played the move ...Nf5 which at first glance looks promising for Black. What did he miss?

Lawrence will also take a look at some of the upcoming events in the calendar.

The Bombastic Bird's - an energetic and exciting repertoire after 1.f4

Welcome to the Bombastic Bird's, a revolutionary repertoire for one of the most enterprising and underrated openings in chess theory (1.f4). In this series, IM Lawrence Trent uncovers a number of groundbreaking theoretical novelties and new ideas that will soon have scorners of this romantic system regretting they ever doubted its soundness.
