Daniel King: Carlsen vs So – The best game of the FTX Crypto Cup final

The final of the FTX Crypto Cup, which ended on Monday, could hardly have been more exciting, as Magnus Carlsen and Wesley So fought a thrilling duel that Carlsen only won with a victory in the eleventh and final encounter, the Armageddon game. The stakes were high for both sides and Carlsen and So made a few more or less serious mistakes and allowed themselves some unpleasantly short draws, but all in all the level of the match was still high. Daniel King took a closer look at the “best game” of the final. | Photos: Lennart Ootes
