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!

Magnus Carlsen Loses 1st Chess Game In 2 Years!
Magnus Carlsen lost his first classical game since July 31, 2018! Exploding head Watch Simon Williams break down the game:

It was a crazy end to the day with Alireza Firouzja winning his Armageddon game against Levon Aronian on time. Magnus Carlsen had earlier won his Armageddon against Fabiano Caruana. This means that with 3 rounds to go Alireza Firouzja has a 1-point lead over Magnus Carlsen, with Levon Aronian and Fabiano Caruana still in close pursuit.

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!"

To paraphrase a Norwegian proverb, the stomach is not content with nice moves. https://bit.ly/2SORLbQ
