Norway Chess – Live!

A fourth straight win prompted Magnus Carlsen to grab the lead at the Norway Chess Tournament in Stavanger. The world champion now has a 1½-point lead over Richard Rapport before Friday’s final round. Carlsen faces Ian Nepomniachtchi in what most likely will be their last classical encounter before they meet in Dubai to fight for the World Championship title. | Photo: Lennart Ootes / norwaychess.no
