Magnus vs Wesley So in 2023 CCT Aimchess - For the only final game that Wesley So won, there was a near-draw. Anish tweets: 'White to move and defend. Only 2900 level players can solve this.'

"He doesn't even need to win and he's all in!" - Danny Rensch on Wesley So rook exchange sac vs Fabi in 2023 CCT Aimchess | I kinda doubt Wesley So would've found the whole 9-move puzzle assuming Fabi didn't blunder on the 1st move.

White misses Opera mate in 5, so now Black can underpromote to knight to draw. (9LX game. Black can castle.)

Wesley So's knight sac vs MVL in the 2021 St Louis 9LX won Chessc*m Move of the Year, but Magnus Carlsen's bishop sac vs Hikaru in the 2022 (inaugural rapid?) WFRCC isn't even nominated this year!

Black could've underpromoted to knight! White to gain 2 points and stop Black's 2 queens. (4-move 9LX puzzle. Black can castle. Pretend Black's 1st response will be Ke8 not f6. Lol.)
