Featured is the round 1 chess game between former World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen and the current World Chess Champion Gukesh D from Norway Chess 2025. Out of the Jobava London we enter a fairly tame middlegame after Carlsen’s response to 4…Bg4. After 21 moves we arrive at an instructive endgame where there are structural imbalances. The clock times would play a significant role in deciding this hard fought game.

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.
