Norwegian Chess: Magnus Carlsen, the world’s number 1 chess player, has won the Norwegian Chess Series. Also, Hikaru Nakamura of America, who played with him, took the 2nd place and Pragnananda, a player from Tamil Nadu, took the 3rd place.
In the 10th and final round of the series held yesterday, Pragnananda had chances to come out on top. But the fans are a little upset because it got a little out of hand. Pragnananda played against Nakamura in the final round held yesterday.
If Pragnananda had won the first round classically and lost to Magnus Carlsen and Papiano at the other end, Pragnananda could have come out on top. But, Carlson beat Papiano. Thus there was a chance to get 2nd place.
And that too, if Pragnananda classically defeats Nakamura. But the classical match was a draw. As a result, Pragnananda won the next round of Armageddon and took 3rd place with a difference of 1 point.
If a job is failed in it he will be ranked 4th. Due to this, his fans are worried that the opportunity in the thread is lost, but they are congratulating Pragnananda for finishing 3rd in the Norwegian chess series.
Also, 700,000 Norwegian kroner was awarded to Magnus Carlsen who won the series. 2nd runner-up Nakamura was awarded 350,000 Norwegian kroner and 3rd runner-up Pragnananda was awarded 200,000 Norwegian kroner.
