Magnus Carlsen salvages draw in dramatic final round, wins seventh Norway Chess title

Magnus Carlsen claimed his seventh Norway Chess title in a dramatic final round, drawing with Arjun Erigaisi from a losing position to secure overall victory by the narrowest of margins. Fabiano Caruana nearly snatched first place after building a winning position against Gukesh Dommaraju, but late mistakes left both players short of the top. Gukesh finished third ahead of Hikaru Nakamura, who lost to Wei Yi in Armageddon, capping off a fiercely contested edition of the tournament in Stavanger. | Photo: Michal Walusza
