Nepo's tournament is not going well at all - but he will certainly be motivated against Magnus.

Yes I'm quite prepared to put it down to hiding prep. I'm surprised he playing this close to the match really.

Magnus def Nepo in the Arma

Carlsen played interesting P sac as Black for B-pair and activity. The computer assesses Black's compensation as enough for at least equality. Carlsen even won with a mating attack with reduced material.
