There’s no doubt that the World Chess Championship started in a great manner on Friday, 11 November. In the first game, World Champion Magnus Carlsen played with White pieces, while the challenger Sergey Karjakin played with Black. If you missed our text analysis of this game, you can check it here.
And the coolest part is that Carlsen surprised everyone by playing the ‘TRUMP-ovsky’ opening. 
Anyway, today we’ll look at the game in a more practical way. Our guest coach FM Marko Makaj has prepared a very instructive video analysis of the game for you.
In this video, you will learn some of the ideas used by Carlsen and Karjakin in this game, and Marko will explain to you about the thinking process of these players and their approach to their game.

He explains about the ‘uniqueness’ of the World Champion Magnus Carlsen, how he plays different/surprising moves (for instance, playing 2.Bg5) and, at the same time, making sure it’s not a bad move.
