Gukesh registered exceptional win against Carlsen

Speaking of one of the most iconic moments from the Norway Chess 2025, D Gukesh was the talk of the town after he registered a brilliant win against five-time world champion Carlsen. The 19-year-old looked brilliant throughout the event, and despite defeating Carlsen, he was unable to clinch the title for himself. Magnus was the one who claimed the Norway Chess title for himself for the 7th time in his career.

Carlsen managed to win the event through a brilliant comeback in the final round. It was his draw against Arjun Erigaisi that helped him secure the win. In the last round, Gukesh was only behind Carlsen by half a point. Taking on Caruana in their classical encounter, if Gukesh managed to draw the game. The tiebreaker would have been decided by two Armageddon matches. However, Gukesh’s loss meant Carlsen won the tournament.
