At the start of day two of the 2022 World Blitz Championships, the guests made the opening move on Magnus Carlsen's board, as it was the first game of the day. Magnus responded by suggesting they play 1.b4!? What followed was an attempt by Anish Giri and Daniil Dubov to tease Magnus, but he handled the situation adeptly. Additionally, a remarkable positional game was played by Magnus against Haik Martirosyan, a promising Armenian chess player who won a bronze medal at the 2022 World Blitz Championships, solidifying his status as one of the rising stars in Armenian chess.
