Rd. 9 - GM Fabiano Caruana vs. GM Wesley So

Written and annotated by GM Alejandro Ramirez.

 

Caruana had a crushing position against So basically from the opening. The engines were screaming that Black was basically lost, but Caruana kept giving So opportunities to get back into the game. At the end of the day, enough mistakes allowed So to solidify his position and hold onto a draw.
