No way, Carlsen will get a free point today!
I’m glad some US grandmasters are getting invites to prestigious round robins…
So at least some opposite-colored-bishops-endings are still drawn…
Carlsen just can’t stop entering these opposite coloured bishops endgames- maybe it is his special field of expertise. He is maybe 2920 FIDE at them.
