I don’t know whether anyone has yet compared Magnus Carlsen’s playing style to Emanuel Lasker’s style. Both seem to have a nonchalant opening style designed, by hook or by crook, aimed at tempting their opponent into mistakes. Ivanchuk today mananged to avoid most of the tempations, but got ground down eventually by the magnificent Magnus.
This is a thrilling game. Ivanchuk has evaded a lot of possible attacks by Carlsen, but looks like Carlsen will win the ending.
