10th Norway Chess 2022 R6: Carlsen gains sole lead, Anand wins Armageddon against Giri

by Shahid Ahmed - 07/06/2022

Magnus Carlsen scored his third Classical victory of 10th Norway Chess 2022. Thus, he has gained sole lead 12.5/18 for the first time in this event. Vishy Anand drew his Armageddon against Anish Giri. Although, Anand was completely winning the endgame. Draw with black pieces in Armageddon means he won the match. He is now currently trailing Carlsen by a full point at 11.5/18. Wesley So made an interesting queen sacrifice against Aryan Tari and won the Armageddon. He is at 10/18. Anand will face Radjabov before heading towards the final rest day of the event. Round 7 starts today from 5 p.m. local time (8:30 p.m. IST). Photo: Lennart Ootes/Norway Chess

Giri - Anand: 1-1.5

Anish Giri opted for 1.b3 in the Armageddon. He later admitted in the post-match interview that it is a terrible opening. Vishy Anand was completely winning the Armageddon in the endgame, after their Classical encounter ended in a draw.

Either 33...gxf4 or gxh4 followed by Rc3, Nd3 is completely winning for Black. The game continued 33...g4 34.Bg2 Rc3 and Giri offered a draw after a few moves. Anand gladly accepted it because a draw with black pieces in Armageddon means a win for him.
