Stabellarbergar (Norway), 6 June (PTI) five -time world champion Magnus Carlsen won the title of his seventh Norway chess after American Grandmaster Fabiano Caruana, who defeated Star India player D Gukesh and had a good twist to grab three full points in the final round of Norway Chess.
It was an unforgettable day for Gukesh, who tried to return after being in a harmful state against the 2018 Norway Chess Champion Caruana, but with the exit from Indian time, he committed and immediately revealed that his possibility had evaporated in a second.
Gukesh offered a handshek with just two seconds on the clock and then covered his face with his hands in frustration.
Defending champion Carlson ended the tournament with 16 points after drawing from an adverse position with other Indians, Arjun Erigasies in the tournament.
Caruana finished second with 15.5 points, while Gukesh finished third – the second time she ended in the Norway Chess tournament with 14.5 points. The Erigasi was fifth with 12.5 points.
In the women’s section, overnight leader and two -time world Blitz Champion, Anna Muzichuk of Ukraine, in the final round of India. Vaishli won the title with 16.5 points despite the Armagaden Tie-Break defeat.
In the classical game against the Indian, Muzichuk’s draw scored one -one point to the two players, while Vaidiyly scored one and half points to defeat Ukrainian in Armagadon to finish a sudden death to end 11 points.
The draft Norway Chess gives three points for classical victory. In the position of the draw, the players share one point each, which is followed by the Armagadon tie-break, where the winner earns another half point.
If Varisali defeated Muzichuk-which was at 15.5 points overnight-in the game, he would have denied the Ukrainian Grandmaster to three points, who would have got the two-time world rapid champion for the title for the title.
Unfortunately, Hampi, which was at 13.5 points overnight after round 9, could manage a draw with white pieces to earn only one point. To overcome Venjun in Armagadon Tie-Breck, he got another half point by scoring 1.5 points and finishing with 15 points. Pti am gsp
