This is one Chess960 position you wouldn't easily confuse with normal chess!
Light at the end of the tunnel for MVL, who scrapes a first half point of #Chess9LX! https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-tournaments/saint-louis-chess-9lx-2020/4/1/3
Ouch! Garry blunders (mouse slips?) a piece in a great position against his punisher last year, Fabiano Caruana! https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-tournaments/saint-louis-chess-9lx-2020/4/1/1
After 3 draws, Levon Aronian picks up a first win, while Alireza Firouzja is still struggling, now joint last with MVL! https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-tournaments/saint-louis-chess-9lx-2020/4/1/4
