Norway Chess: Carlsen extends his lead

Magnus Carlsen holds a 1½-point lead at the top of the Norway Chess standings after defeating Fabiano Caruana in Armageddon following a drawn classical game. All three encounters in round five required tiebreaks, with Arjun Erigaisi and Wei Yi also securing 1½ points each after winning their respective sudden-death games against Hikaru Nakamura and Gukesh Dommaraju.
