Magnus Carlsen, the greatest chess player of all-time, turns 30 today. We are as fortunate as those who witnessed "live" Capablanca's, Fischer's or Kasparov's games at the height of their careers (Carina Johansen/NTB archive).

Today world chess champion Magnus Carlsen turns 30.🥳

Carlsen is an outstanding player whose achievements are impossible to fit in one tweet. He is also a well-rounded person with multiple talents, and we wish him further success in all his endeavors!

For the first time in the #SkillingOpen the 1st day of a match has ended 2:2 (after 4 wins for White!). If tomorrow's mini-match were to be drawn 2:2 we'd go to tiebreaks:

Both Magnus Carlsen and Wesley So appreciated a beautiful finish to the first game of their final!

What a stunning turnaround, as after surviving a lost position Magnus had been pushing for 10 minutes only to stumble into mate! We're back to 1:1:

Magnus Carlsen is furious with himself as he blunders and loses the final game of the day! The players have drawn 2:2, so we start from scratch tomorrow:
