Carlsen maintains equality comfortably with the black pieces. Nepomniachtchi led White in the third game of the World Championship and the same opening was repeated as in the first, although the Russian player changed his strategy and played a slow, more positional fight. This new course could have brought him some advantage, but his move 21.h3 allowed Carlsen to gradually equalize the game.
