It’s Armenia’s long time #1, Levon Aronian, versus the current World Chess Champion, Magnus Carlsen in a Round 4 game from the 2017 Altibox Norway Chess Tournament. This game was played on June 10th, and many fans were quick to peg it a brilliancy. Would Aronian, playing as white, or Carlsen, playing as black, be the hammer in this chess masterpiece? What makes this game stand out from the rest?

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
