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.

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

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!
