11th Norway Chess 2023 R4: Gukesh draws the Classical against

D Gukesh drew his second Classical rated game ever against Magnus Carlsen. Earlier this year, he drew against the world no.1 at 85th Tata Steel Masters 2023. In the Classical battle, Gukesh navigated the queen endgame quite well. It lasted more than 50% of the entire game. The Armageddon was a chaotic encounter which saw Gukesh sacrificing his queen in a must-win game and eventually losing the game after blundering a piece. The result might have gone in the Norwegian's favor. However, Gukesh showed once again, that he is ready to take Carlsen in any format of the game. Fabiano Caruana scored the sole Classical victory of the round against Alireza Firouzja.
