Magnus Carlsen vs Fabiano Caruana | Game 4 – 2018 World Chess Championship

World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway defends his title against challenger Fabiano Caruana of the United States in Game 4 of the 2018 World Chess Championship match that is being held in London. It’s a best of 12 games where the first player to earn 6.5 points earns the lion’s share of a $1.14 million prize pool, and the title of “World Chess Champion”. Both players entered game 4 with 1.5 points each. A new opening in this match surfaces in game 4 with Carlsen electing the English Opening. Caruana’s 6th move is not the most popular option, yet one which ultimately makes Carlsen, in yet another game, have a think first. Carlsen’s 14th move is followed in an illogical way, with the game soon transitioning to an endgame where both sides of the board experience play.
