Stavanger [Norway], May 30 (ANI): World No 1 Magnus Carlsen showed his class with an instructive victory in the endgame against Indian No 2 Arjun Erigaisi. The Norwegian superstar, who had lost two Armageddon games in the last two rounds, made a strong statement with this win on home turf, according to a release from Norway Chess.

In the game between the World Champion Dommaraju Gukesh against World No 3 Fabiano Caruana, the American was leading almost the whole game, with significant winning chances.

However, he could not convert his advantage due to Gukesh's superb defensive skills. Gukesh then went on to win the Armageddon game convincingly.

World No 2 Hikaru Nakamura against Chinese star Wei Yi was a hard-fought, exciting draw in the classical portion of their matchup. Wei Yi ultimately triumphed in the Armageddon tiebreaks, securing the all-important extra points.
