Norway Chess: Praggnanandhaa, Vaishali Lose; Carlsen, Tingjie Register Crucial Wins In Rd-9
World Champion Ding Liren: As the Norway Chess inches towards a thrilling conclusion, the stakes have never been higher. All classical games of Round 9 in the prestigious Norway Chess main event ended in a draw, going into an Armageddon tie-breaker to determine a match winner.
India's Praggnanandhaa R went down in Armageddon against Fabiano Caruana, who is having an outside chance of winning the title. He will have to beat Hikaru Nakamura in a must-win final round and hope the local hero Magnus Carlsen loses his game against Caruana.
The five-time World Champion Carlsen extended his lead with an Armageddon win over Alireza Firouzja in Round 9. This means that a win in the final round for Carlsen would guarantee him winning the tournament outright.
