Champions Chess Tour Final, Round 2: Carlsen continues to lead

After two days of play Magnus Carlsen leads the final of the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour – which he, thanks to the 16.5 bonus point he received because of his successes in the previous tournaments of the tour – did from the very start of the event. But in round 2 the World Champion had to overcome serious problems before beating Shakhryar Mamedyarov in a tense and eventful match that went into Armageddon. | Graphics and photos: Tournament Site
