Magnus Carlsen may have been a wonderful pump deactivator. Only somebody with wonderful management of their feelings can obtain what he this Friday: saving a loser place, and nearly profitable it, below an amazing watch strain in opposition to the Arjun Eyrigaisi Indian portent, 4th of the world after this tie. The Norwegian is consolidated as primary And he wins for the seventh time in Stavanger (Norway) the Norway Chess, the toughest event of the 12 months. Ukraine Anna Muzychuk, resident in Valencia, gained the ladies’s event. Both she and Carlsen will cost 700,000 Norwegian crowns (60,773 euros), with a complete inventory market of about 300,000 euros for the twelve members.

“Winning the tournament is the best therapy against the immense pain I felt when I lost to [el indio Dommaraju] Gukesh in the sixth round. At that time I lost interest in the tournament, ”stated Carlsen, in reference to what often is the most painful defeat of his profession, in entrance of the present world champion, 19 years. That day, after 4 hours of magnificent play, a masterful lesson of excessive technique, the Norwegian unsuitable when he solely remained to complete off.

His anger was uncontrollable and translated into an amazing swipe on the desk, which now recollects: “I trust that fans understand the tremendous pain that chess can cause in situations like that; although I have seen that the video has circulated around the world and surely will have attracted new fans, it is clear that that moment is not among my best. angry was myself. ” In reality, Carlsen congratulated Gukesh and shook his hand solely two seconds later. Next, and even though he left the room at full velocity and stuffed with fury, he stopped a second and touched Cordially Gukesh’s again in apologies. “Then I went out, I got into the first car of the organization I saw and needed two minutes to be myself. I lost interest there. But then, when [el estadounidense Fabiano] Caruana lost miraculously against Erigaisi, I saw that I could still win the tournament, and I have achieved it. ”

The aid of this triumph additionally softens its place as to retire from traditional chess, as I trace a couple of days earlier than: “I like to compete, although the modality of slow games is not the one that motivates me the most. However, I do like the Norway Cross format, with the accelerated rhythm in the slow game and the sudden death Immediate after each game in tables. So I don’t close the door to play this tournament and some other classic chess in 2026. I don’t say it either, but I do not deny it, despite what I have suffered here. For now, I’m going to make a kind of honeymoon with my wife [embarazada]and then we’ll see. ”

Do you see somebody who can snatch the primary quickly? “Honestly, not right now. I recognize that Gukesh is on his way, but he still lacks; I see it as I see myself if we go back to 2008 or 2009; for example, when I was 2nd in the Linares tournament behind Anand [indio, pentacampeón del mundo]”.

But, on this particular event, Carlsen touched the failure to the final moments of the final spherical. His place, with the black items, in opposition to Erigaisi was very near the defeat whereas Caruana had a decisive benefit over Gukesh. If the Norwegian misplaced and the American gained, the primary prize can be for this. But Erigaisi grew to become entangled; So a lot that grew to become misplaced. However, Carlsen needed to make many performs in a couple of seconds, and didn’t succeed with the profitable performs, in order that the tie was grabbed, which appeared to ensure the victory within the event. But simply at that second, Caruana made an amazing pifia, which threw all his benefit overboard. Now it was Gukesh who may win the event, which might have meant a real tragedy for Carlsen, of unpredictable penalties. Then, with the primary prize already insured, Carlsen misplaced the sudden loss of life with erigaisi.

It could also be true that chess has a goddess, Caissa, who at the moment determined to intervene to trigger a Gukesh error that led him to defeat. “It is chess pain,” Carlsen repeated to all of the journalists who was within the halls after deactivating the pump that Eyigoisi was so near detonating.
