The 2010s were the decade of Magnus Carlsen. Nearly from start to finish, he was the undisputed #1 player in the world. In this game from 2017, Levon Aronian (always a fierce Carlsen rival), catches Carlsen in a spectacular opening line and wins a fantastic chess game featuring exchange sacs, trapped queens, and greek gifts.
