Magnus Carlsen, victorious against Gukesh Dommaraju: “VII after the king, it would be good not to miss”

Although he no longer competes so often in classic chess competitions, Carlsen had a solid performance in front of Dommaraju and, after 56 moves, managed to defeat him, obtaining 3 points.

“And he is an ambitious player so I thought we would not necessarily have a monotonous match, especially that he has equalized since the opening.

He felt a little risky for me, also because his pawns were quite fast, but I couldn't help but take the game in a direction. In the end, I wanted to make sure that when it turned the pawn into the queen, I was calculating everything.

I know he calculates these things very well so I am always a little worried that I missed something, but I managed to use a few minutes to make sure I do not lose and then to attack decisive“Said Carlsen, quoted by Times of India.
