We’re off and running and Caruana has opened with another Rossolimo: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 g6 4. O-O. For the third time in five games they’re opening with this variation of the Sicilian and it’s Caruana who is first to deviate on move four (4. … Bg7).
No word on how Caruana’s spent yesterday’s rest day. But it looks as if the champion spent at least some of it having a kickabout (rocking a Mo Salah Roma shirt). The Norwegian does enjoy the football: he took in the Chelsea v Everton match at Stamford Bridge on the first rest day between Games 2 and 3, which ended, quite appropriately, in a draw.
