Carlsen’s secret weapon in the English Opening | Carlsen vs Jakovenko | Commentary by Sagar

Magnus Carlsen oftens like to open with the English Opening (1.c4) as White. However, many times, his opponents just play the Symmetrical variation, which means that whatever moves he makes, they just make the same ones with the black pieces. Over here, Magnus has a secret weapon. Recently at the Global Chess League, he played it and beat Vishy Anand with White and back in 2019 at the World Blitz, he had used it against Dmitri Jakovenko. This is the game we are going to look at right now in this video along with the commentary by IM Sagar Shah.
