By playing Scandinavian defense Carlsen faces a well prepared line and soon gets a cramped position where White has a huge advantage! But one mistake unexpectedly changes the character of the whole game and it’s Carlsen who gets a full point! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
