So Beats Carlsen, Shakes Up Norway Chess Standings.

https://bit.ly/2J7ujnJ

Magnus Carlsen loses today to Wesley So. An unexpected loss. The #worldchampion still maintains the lead in #altiboxnorwaychess but unlike W. So, has only 2 games ahead.
Some players including So have yet 3 games to go.
No games Monday, June 4.

#chessnews

It is So's first classical victory over the world champion. Carlsen still leads with 3.5 out of 6. So and Aronian have 3. Ding Liren's results will not count.

⚫️#473 (Strategy-Black to Move)
🔸Weinstein,G
🔸Yermolinsky,A
🔸USSR Junior Championship, Vilnius 1975

24...Nd8!
The knight comes in good time to e6 where it puts pressure on the d4-pawn.
25.b5 Ne6 26.Ra1 Rfc8.

⚪️#474 (Strategy-White to Move)
🔸Kasparov,G
🔸Donchenko,A
🔸Khalilbeyli Memorial, Baku 1976

22.Bxc4!
I was very proud of this unexpected exchange of bishop for knight (Kasparov). Black's replies are forced.
22...bxc4 23.Nd2 Bb5 24.Ra1
With the unavoidable exchange on b5 and the seizure of the a-file. And the knight on b7 is still dead – White effectively has an extra piece.
24...h6 25.Nxb5 axb5 26.Nf1 Bg5 27.Re2!
