Magnus Carlsen won the Norway Chess title for the seventh time in his career, after a sensational fightback in the final round to draw against Arjun Erigaisi in the Classical game, which eventually put him out of reach of the likes of D Gukesh and Fabiano Caruana.

Gukesh attempted a comeback at the end but ran out of time. The World Champions offered a handshake with just two seconds left on the clock and then covered his face with his hands in frustration.

World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen prepares for a decisive final-round clash against Gukesh Dommaraju at the 2024 Norway Chess tournament in Stavanger. After a rare classical loss to Gukesh, Carlsen hinted at stepping back from classical chess.
