1. c2c4 Carlsen seems to be comfortable playing the English Opening these days. 1... e7e5  2. g2g3  2... b8c6  3. f1g2  3... g7g6  4. b1c3  4... f8g7  5. e2e3 A tried and true method of development. 5... g8f6 It's a bit surprising to see that knight stepping ahead of the f-pawn. 6. g1e2  6... e8g8  7. e1g1  7... d7d6  8. d2d4 Magnus prefers to go through the center. 8... e5d4  9. e3d4  9... f8e8  10. h2h3  10... c6e7  11. f1e1  11... c7c6  12. c1f4  12... d6d5  13. c4c5 The game had already left theoretical paths, but the clocks were showing a large advantage to Carlsen, and it proves that he was better prepared. 13... f6e4 A rather nervy attempt to seize the initiative.
