Here are today's results and the standings going into tomorrow's last round. Congratulations once again to Magnus Carlsen for winning the tournament with a round to spare!

Being low on time can really play tricks with one's positional judgment. Alireza Firouzja played 69. Kc3 and resigned after natural 69...Kc5, handing Carlsen a tournament win.

Simply STUNNING! This is how Firouzja lost to Carlsen, in classical chess, today in Norway! This is the type of position I teach much lower rated kids! Inexplicable! This is why you play everything out and not take premature draws. @FIDE_chess @WOMChess @EuropeEchecs @ECUonline
