Firouzja beats Tari and is now leading #NorwayChess with impressive 10 points. Considering the positions of the two remaining games, It may only be Aronian who overruns Firouzja.

17-year-old Alireza Firouzja now leads #NorwayChess with four rounds to go!

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"

Magnus after scraping a draw then beating Fabi in Armageddon:
"I thought for sure it was extremely dangerous & the fact I’m holding after all this Ne5, Qc8 stuff is a bit of luck, I would say. Sometimes these things just collapse but fortunately it didn’t today!"

With this beautiful win against his compatriot Aryan Tari, Carlsen grabs sole lead at #NorwayChess.
He's now 1 point ahead of Firouzja, whom he's going to face in the upcoming round.

Magnus: "Generally I'm too dumb to lie, so mostly I'm telling the truth!"

Also:
Fiona Steil-Antoni: "Enjoy, congrats and see you on...... whatever day it is in two days!"
Magnus: "It's called Thursday"
Fiona: "Thank you!"

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.

But can you find which move makes a draw? (Hint: think of the distant opposition)
#NorwayChess #endgame

Magnus on Alireza: "He's so strong he's going to be around for a long time... it's nice to be the wise old man!"
