context: 1. g1f3  1... d7d5  2. g2g3  2... c7c5  3. f1g2  3... b8c6  4. d2d4 Another new opening in the match. 4... e7e6  5. e1g1  5... c5d4  6. f3d4  6... g8e7 A rare move. As usual, Gukesh demonstrates a new idea early in the game. This time, however, it will backfire—White will achieve a pleasant position. Black's idea is to exchange on d4 and get the knight to c6. The downside to this strategy is that Black's king can be a bit unsafe in some positions without the knight nearby, although this may seem far from reality at the moment. 7. c2c4 The best reaction, attacking the center.
