They continue with 6. Ndb5 d6 7. Nd5 Nxd5 8. exd5. Carlsen is first to deviate from the Game 8 and Game 10 lines with 8. … Ne7.
8…Ne7 is considered dubious since Yudasin-Kramnik in 1994. Obviously Carlsen has some ideas. #CarlsenCaruana #carlsencaruana2018
And we’re off with 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4. And with 4. … Nf6 5. Nc3 e5, we’re into the Sveshnikov variation, same as the eighth game!
