Sicilian Sveshnikov, 2nd Edition | Game 10 — 2018 World Chess Championship



World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway defends his title against challenger Fabiano Caruana of the United States in Game 10 of the 2018 World Chess Championship match that is being held in London. It’s a best of 12 games where the first player to earn 6.5 points earns the lion’s share of a $1.14 million prize pool, and the title of «World Chess Champion». Both players entered game 10 tied with 4.5 points each. It’s another Sicilian Sveshnikov, but this time much more dynamic than in game 8. Caruana risks getting checkmated on the kingside without proper defense, while Carlsen risks simply being worse without a strong enough attack since Caruana’s passed a-pawn can quickly become a great strength, especially in an endgame.
