This natural move is a novelty. Gukesh came well-prepared to this game.
1. c2c4  1... g8f6  2. b1c3  2... c7c5  3. g2g3  3... d7d5  4. c4d5  4... f6d5  5. f1g2  5... d5c7  6. b2b3 A rare choice. 6... e7e5 Black's natural reaction, achieving a pawn formation known as the \"Maroczy Bind.\" 7. c1b2  7... f8e7  8. a1c1 White's game is very concrete and based on a quick attack on the \"Maroczy's pawns,\" even if this comes at the price of neglecting the development of the kingside. 8... e8g8 The best reaction. When in doubt, just castle.
