Battles at the top of the tournament, amazing individual results from two young men from the East, that's what people are talking about at the Olympiad! But is the world champion playing in Chennai? Certainly! Credit must be given to Carlsen for regularly participating in the Olympiads. Here he was rested only in the first round and has since been trying, with many wins against theoretically much weaker opponents, and by his participation in the Norwegian team – his homeland – to help as much as possible. He defeats his opponents in his typical style…
If possible, he avoids sharp positions where calculation errors might occur… not only his opponent's. However, it seems that the penultimate round game did not develop according to his expectations despite the final draw…
The conclusion of the 10th round game, where precise calculation could no longer be avoided, I have decided to present to you again first for independent work. Dear readers, if you feel like it, try to get oriented in the position at the very end of the game. You can check your calculation again in the full game given below. Black to move.
