The Norway chess came this year with a super strong line-up headed by the goat Magnus Carlsen, 3 top 10s as Keymer Firouzja & Wesley So, the world champion Gukesh and the other indian young start Praggnanandhaa. We have the womens section too with all the players over 2500. I going to analyze the best games each day here and in youtube so lets see what happen in Norway this year.

The Revenge

Firouzja beated magnus in the first round of the tournament but in this double round robin Carlsen had his rematch with the white pieces taking his second victory of the event.

Understanding the close Spanish

The Ruy Lopez with d3 is very interesting in a positional point of view and in this clash between the world champion and the world cup winner we watch the differences between a good understanding of the position and a bad understanding.

Both leaders changed this round, the womens section is very very open with just Humpy on the bottom but the other 5 players with good options of take the tournament.
The open section is being amazing too with Magnus having decisive results in all the classics, lets see if he can continue the comeback, follow me here and in Youtube to see what happen, bye bye.
