World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen defends his title against challenger Sergey Karjakin in Game 8 of the 2016 World Chess Championship match that is being held in New York, USA. It’s a best of 12 games where the first player to earn 6.5 points earns the lion’s share of a $1.1 million prize pool, and the title of “World Chess Champion”. Carlsen opts for d4 for only the 2nd time in the match, and yet again follows up with something atypical in that of the Colle. This is an opening you’re far more likely to see at the club level instead of the top level. Game 8 was the most interesting game thus far in the match, and felt like it was really 2 games wrapped into one.
