Baku Grand Prix: Carlsen-Wang fought into another draw

The match that kept me at the edge of the seat end up into another draw. It was a hard fought and deep tactical match of the two youngsters that saw them halve the points after 59th move of another Ruy Lopez, surprisingly, the third in the first round. Wang opted with the Berlin defence (3...Nf6) a variation that has a reputation for solidity at the expense of drawishness. It was a battle that even a slight mistake could decide the match. We will try to post the PGN later :)
