Lets focus on both players
Magnus Carlsen
Magnus Carlsen is a very strong Norweigien grandmaster who became the 16th world champion in 2013 defeating India's Viswanathan Anand. He is also the highest rated played in chess history having peaked at elo rating 2882. He is currently rated elo of 2855. He has a great knowledge of positional chess. He can snatch a win from a boring looking drawn position.
Nepo Nepomniachtchi
Nepominachtchi is a strong chess grandmaster from Russia known for his dynamic and tactical play. He won the Candidates event last year to become the challenger in this match. He is currently rated at elo 2782.
