chess24 Legends 11: Carlsen in final | Giri hits back
Magnus Carlsen garnered high praise from Garry Kasparov for
combining the best of Bobby Fischer, Anatoly Karpov and himself/Mikhail Botvinnik
as the current World Champion reached his 3rd final in 4 events on the Magnus
Carlsen Chess Tour. Magnus brushed Peter Svidler aside 2.5:0.5 for a 2nd day in
a row. In the other clash Ian Nepomniachtchi looked on the verge of the final
when he won Game 2 and later the first blitz game, but Anish Giri bounced back
both times before winning in Armageddon to take the match to a decider on
Sunday.
