Published June 1, 2026 · Updated June 1, 2026 · NRK

Magnus Carlsen secured a hard-fought victory over Vincent Keymer via Armageddon in round seven of Norway Chess, despite receiving criticism for time usage.

Carlsen played with black pieces and clinched the win when Keymer struggled to navigate the position. With black pieces, a draw is enough to win in Armageddon.

Currently holding nine points, Carlsen trails leader Wesley So by 2.5 points with three games remaining. Carlsen will face So later this week and remains in contention for the title. forumteam.blog
