World Champion Gukesh Dommaraju: Norway Chess continued to produce high-intensity battles in its second round, with Alireza Firouzja emerging as the early frontrunner after registering his second straight classical victory in Oslo.

Firouzja delivered the only decisive result of the day in the open section, defeating Indian teenager Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa in a deeply strategic encounter.

The French star gradually tightened his grip from the middlegame onward, converting a positional edge into a convincing win with composed endgame technique.
