Magnus Carlsen has recovered from his upset loss to Gukesh Dommaraju to secure the Norway Chess 2025 title. The Norwegian grandmaster finished the tournament on 16 points, half a point ahead of Fabiano Caruana, with Gukesh ending up third on 14.5 points [1].Carlsen's victory was particularly notable given his emotional outburst following his loss to Gukesh in round six. The Norwegian grandmaster, who has been ranked the No. 1 chess player in the FIDE world rankings for nearly 15 years, had led most of the game against Gukesh but ultimately lost his knight in a faulty move, leading to Gukesh's victory [2].
Despite his setback, Carlsen bounced back to win the tournament. He defeated Fabiano Caruana in the final round, securing his victory with a total of 16 points. Carlsen expressed his relief after the tournament, stating that it was a huge relief after a day like this and a tournament like this [1].
Carlsen also expressed his enjoyment for other forms of chess and did not rule out his participation in standard chess. He has been vocal about his frustration with the current format of the World Chess Championship, suggesting that reducing time controls and making it more games would be a good start [2].
The Norway Chess tournament, which lasted until June 6, had a prize fund of 1,690,000 Norwegian Krone ($167,000) [2].
