Featured is a Round 3 game from the 2022 World Blitz Chess Championship between Ivan Cheparinov and Magnus Carlsen. The opening is Closed Catalan with an instructive idea demonstrated by Carlsen on the queenside. After Cheparinov's 10th move, Carlsen's play is nearly impeccable with him basically playing for two results in an opposite colored bishop endgame. Carlsen's accuracy for this 3|2 time control registered a 97% in Stockfish 15.1's eyes.
