US soccer superstar Christian Pulisic will take on World No. 1, Magnus Carlsen, in a charity match to raise money for the humanitarian organization UNICEF. However, Christian will not be playing the real Magnus Carlsen because the world chess champion is probably busy at the Charity Cup right now. So he’ll play against the 10-year-old Magnus Carlsen from the Play Magnus app.
