World Champion Gukesh Dommaraju: Round three of Norway Chess 2026 produced another dramatic day of fighting chess, the Indian star Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu defeated World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen in classical chess.

Praggnanandhaa gradually outplayed Carlsen in a long game and appeared to be in control for much of the encounter. However, the momentum shifted in severe time trouble, where Carlsen managed to seize the advantage.

Moments later, the Norwegian star made a decisive mistake of his own under pressure and resigned immediately, conceding the win.
