Magnus Carlsen makes comeback with crushing win over Gukesh at Norway Chess

World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen bounced back in style at the Norway Chess tournament, crushing reigning classical world champion D. Gukesh to climb up the standings.

The emphatic victory earned the seven-time Norway Chess champion three full points and lifted him from last place to sole fourth with 4.5 points. Gukesh, meanwhile, dropped to the bottom of the table on 3.5 points after another disappointing outing ahead of his world title defence later this year against Javokhir Sindarov.
