In yet another game from the final week of the regular season, a very interesting win by IM Molner helped Arizona score an important match win, propelling them up to the third spot in their division.
Wildcard #3: IM Mackenzie Molner (ARZ) vs IM Jonathan Schroer (CAR) 1-0
Arun Sharma: While I don’t know how accurate this game was, especially the latter portion, it seemed like a very rich game from the get go. A longterm exchange sacrifice, and a lot of creativity, especially from the White side. Along with the very interesting and exciting tactics that eventually concluded the game, I felt this game would be a good addition to the Game of the Year Contest.
