12th Norway Chess R6: Ding Liren blunders a shocking mate in two against Magnus Carlsen
Ding Liren (CHN) made a shocking mate in two blunder in an equal position against Magnus Carlsen (NOR). The world no.1 was in disbelief that his opponent overlooked such an elementary threat. He was evidently not happy with the way he won. He had to win the Classical to gain the lead, but not like that. He is now a full point ahead 12/15 of Hikaru Nakamura (USA) 11/15. Once again, Nakamura drew the Classical against Fabiano Caruana (USA). He made a strange retreat of his king in the middlegame and lost the thread of the position in the Armageddon. Caruana scored his first win in Armageddon at this event after losing two Classical games in-a-row. Praggnanandhaa drew the Classical against Alireza Firouzja (FRA). However, he blundered in time trouble against the France no.1.
