Carlsen takes his revenge in the 2nd game with Duda. He beat the Polish GM in 26 moves. #NorwayChess

Magnus Carlsen: "To be honest losing wasn’t that big a deal. 100 games & then the record streak, those were the ones I really cared about, & after that I knew I was going to lose at some point... I was mostly upset about losing in general, not so much the streak"
#NorwayChess

A disaster for Levon Aronian but good news for Fabiano Caruana, who hits back with a win after losing 2 games in a row!

"No fantasy, however rich, no technique, however masterly, no penetration into the psychology of the opponent, however deep, can make a chess game a work of art, if these qualities do not lead to the main goal - the search for truth."
