Another surprise. Carlsen is playing the Rossolimo Variation of the Sicilian, same as Friday’s opening game (1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 g6).
They proceed with 4. Bxc6 dxc6 5. d3 Bg7, then Caruana is first to deviate from the common line with 6. 0-0 (instead of 6. h3).
Here we go! The third game is under way and so far it’s a repeat of Game 1: another Sicilian (1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6).
