Norway Chess 4: Carlsen gets to torture Nepomniachtchi

“I thought it would be nice to torture him!” said Magnus Carlsen of the endgame kill he chose to defeat his World Championship Challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi in Armageddon. The first game of their Round 4 Norway Chess clash was a draw in the Berlin Endgame, “the type of opening where neither side enjoys the game,” as Nepo put it. Meanwhile Sergey Karjakin beat Aryan Tari in Armageddon while Richard Rapport extended his lead by picking up another win in classical chess, this time against Alireza Firouzja.
