Skilling Open: Magnus Carlsen vs Wesley So

I’ll take a look at game two from the final where Magnus uncharacteristically gets complacent and Wesley dominates him from the middlegame with his two powerful knights."
But first a warm-up: Magnus needed to win this game in order to force an Armageddon in the final. What was his best chance in this position?
