Norway Chess 1: Carlsen beats Firouzja, Rapport enters Top 10

Richard Rapport is the early leader of Norway Chess 2021 after easing to a victory over Aryan Tari that took him up to world no. 9 on the live rating list. The match of the day saw World Champion Magnus Carlsen facing an opening novelty before a tense classical game against Alireza Firouzja ended in a draw. Then, just as in last year’s edition of the tournament, Firouzja looked set to win in Armageddon but was thwarted, this time not by the clock but by a passed pawn that cost him a whole rook.
