In the eighth round of the Norway Chess super-tournament, Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu achieved a remarkable victory over Magnus Carlsen, marking his second win against the world champion in this event. Firouzja also secured a win against Gukesh Dommaraju, bringing him within one point of tournament leader Wesley So. So maintained his lead despite drawing his classical game against Vincent Keymer and winning in Armageddon. The results have significant implications for the title race, with only two rounds remaining. Pragg's win came from a solid performance in the French Defence, while Firouzja's victory helped him recover from previous losses. Carlsen's struggles continued as he faced his fourth classical defeat, a rare occurrence in his career, highlighting the intense competition in this year's tournament. Gukesh's loss further solidified his position at the bottom of the standings, reflecting his challenging performance in Oslo. The tournament will resume after a rest day, with So facing Carlsen and Firouzja in the final rounds.
