Chess: Wesley So beats Magnus Carlsen for the first time!

in chess •  7 years ago 

Wesley So has defeated world number 1 Magnus Carlsen for the first time in a classical chess match!

The opening played was the Exchange Slav and the game lasted for 44 moves

It was the 13th time they met in classical chess (So previously had lost 4 and drawn 8 with Carlsen).

Check out the post-match analysis here with GM Wesley So and IM Anna Rudolf.

To me it looked like So had a very dominant position, especially in the centre when the middlegame was reached.
