CNN —French grandmaster Maxime Vachier-Lagrave defeated world No. 1 Magnus Carlsen in two matches as he won the 2023 AI Cup and qualified for the upcoming Champions Chess Tour Finals. By winning the first match, Vachier-Lagrave forced a Grand Final “Reset” and he took victory in both games of the second match too. Carlsen went for a queen sacrifice in the first game of the second match but his gamble ultimately failed as Vachier-Lagrave took victory. In the second game of the second match, however, it seemed as if Carlsen was regaining his form and salvaging his position before Vachier-Lagrave went for a bishop sacrifice that turned the game on its head.

Here's a look at the pitch that helped Zaepffel and his cofounders seal the deal.
