Norway Chess: Praggnanandhaa Beats Carlsen Again; Gukesh, Divya Face Losses In Rd 8
World Champion Gukesh Dommaraju: Round eight of Norway Chess 2026 featured a crucial day in Oslo, including two decisive classical games and an Armageddon match, intensifying the competition for the top spot.
Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu secured another notable result by defeating Magnus Carlsen once again at the tournament, strengthening the title race. The 20-year-old, who had beaten Carlsen with White last week, repeated his success with Black in Round 8, recording his second classical win over the World No. 1 in the same tournament.
With this achievement, Praggnanandhaa became only the second player, after India’s legendary Viswanathan Anand, to beat Carlsen twice in the same tournament. He also joined an elite group of players who have defeated the five-time World Champion thrice in classical chess.
