Indian Grandmaster Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa lost to world number one Magnus Carlsen in the reverse fixture during the seventh round of the ongoing Norway Chess 2024 tournament, in Stavanger, on Tuesday (June 4). Carlsen managed to topple Praggnanandhaa in the Armageddon tiebreaker after the two players settled for a draw in their classical game at the premier tournament.&nbsp;

The result serves as a big win for Carlsen, who lost to the Indian young sensation in their earlier clash in the tournament. He also took a one-point sole lead in the open section of Norway Chess.&nbsp;

With the win, Carlsen also extended his tally to an incredible 14.5 out of 15 with White in Norway Chess. Both&nbsp;players mixed aggression with caution and gave a tough fight. However, the turning point proved to be when the Norwegian showcased his class with White in Armageddon tie-breaker. Praggnanandhaa put up a valiant fight and came very close to equalising, nonetheless, it wasn't enough as&nbsp;local favourite Carlsen got the job done and took 1.5 points from the match.

Norway Chess: In-form R Praggnanandhaa loses to Magnus Carlsen in reverse fixture

Indian Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa's&nbsp;fine form continues&nbsp;in the ongoing Norway Chess tournament as he recorded another big win. In round 7, held on Monday (June 3), Praggnanandhaa beat world champion Ding Liren in&nbsp;an Armageddon tiebreaker. The 18-year-old made heads turn with his composure through the classical game and made full use of an opportunity in the tiebreaker to create more pressure on Liren, who looked off-colour throughout the tournament in Stavanger. The victory comes after Praggnanandhaa&nbsp;beat&nbsp;world number one&nbsp;Magnus Carlsen and second-ranked Fabiano Caruana earlier in the tournament.

The win follows a commendable effort from Praggnanandhaa, especially&nbsp;after losing to Frenchman Firouzja Alireza in the Armageddon tiebreaker earlier in the day. The official handle of Norway Chess on X, formerly Twitter, shared the video of the Indian youngster's win over Liren.

Norway Chess: R Praggnanandhaa's fine form continues, stuns world champion Ding Liren in Round 7

India's rising sensation R Praggnanandhaa clinched his first-ever classical win over world number one Magnus Carlsen in the third round of the Norway Chess tournament in Stavanger on Wednesday (May 29). The Indian Grandmaster (GM) took the sole lead in the open section of the six-player tournament following a landmark win at Carlsen's home turf. Playing with white pieces, the 2023 FIDE World Cup runner-up emerged on top by battling the odds to stun Carlsen.

The 18-year-old took his tally to 5.5 out of 9 points following the third round in the chess tournament in Norway. Meanwhile, America's Grandmaster Fabio Caruana settled for the second spot after taking three full points following a win over GM Ding Liren.

USA's GM Christopher Hikaru Nakamura feels the urge to take more chances against the youngster&nbsp;was the reason for Carlsen's undoing against Praggnanandhaa.

"I wish Magnus would take these chances against me or against Fabi. I have this theory that when Magnus is playing the younger kids specifically he wants to sort of prove a point, he wants to go after them and try to beat them and he takes far more risks than he does against us old folks!" Nakamura was quoted as saying by Chess.com.

Meanwhile, Praggnanandhaa was quoted as saying by Chess.com, "I kind of feel that I have enough experience at this level and I can beat these players, but I have to play my best for that and that’s what I’m trying to do. That’s kind of the mindset."

The win serves as a huge boost for Praggnanandhaa, who had lost the World Cup to Carlsen last year. With this victory, Praggnanandhaa became only the fourth Indian to beat Carlsen in classical chess.
