In the Norway Chess tournament<\/strong>, it seems that Ding Liren is finding it challenging to concentrate in classical games, as he blundered a mate-in-two tactic against Magnus Carlsen in an equal position. This is Ding\u2019s fourth loss in a row. With this win, Magnus Carlsen has surpassed Hikaru Nakamura in the leaderboard, becoming the leader again.<\/p>\n

While the game between Fabiano Caruana and Hikaru Nakamura ended in a draw relatively quickly, Caruana had a crucial win in the Armageddon game, a \u201crevenge\u201d for Nakamura’s win in the first Armageddon game in the first half of the tournament. This win will possible be a massive confidence booster for Caruana after two disappointing rounds.<\/p>\n
