The latest preview of the upcoming world championship match was at the fantastically strong 2018 Norway Chess tournament. In this game our man was clearly outplayed. The champion exploits the Black pawn weaknesses, the backward d-pawn that appears on the board around move twenty and the isolated b-pawn. By move 45 the endgame looks bad, but Caruana plays it out for another thirty moves. The late resignation suggests that the championship match won’t be plagued by short draws.
