London System Rich in Tactics | Carlsen vs Ding | Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour Finals 2020
Channel: Mordimer's Chess Channel
Date: 2020-08-10

Another London System played by Magnus. The game was played during the first day of Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour Finals. And it's another great example of how to play it with interesting winning chances. It doesn't happen often that white sacrifice the pawn for even more initiative. It's also one of the games where the London System chess traps aren't that important but rather improving the position and exploiting the weaknesses.

The Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour Finals benefiting Kiva is the $300,000 4-player grand finale of the Tour and takes place from 9-20 August 2020 on chess24. Magnus Carlsen and Daniil Dubov won previous Tour events, while Hikaru Nakamura and Ding Liren qualified as the best performing players not to win an event (since Magnus won 3 out of 4). The semi-finals are best of 5 sets, while the final is best of 7. Each set consists of 4 rapid games with 15 minutes per player for all moves, plus a 10-second increment per move. If the score is tied 2:2 then two 5+3 blitz games are played. If still tied an Armageddon game is played, where White has 5 minutes to Black's 4, but a draw means Black wins the set. No draw offers are allowed before move 40.
