After Carlsen’s disappointment in round 8, he needed to bounce back with a win to take the 2013 Norway Chess tournament title, but failed to make headway against Aronian’s solid play. [Event "Norway Chess Tournament"] [Site "Sandnes NOR"] [Date "2013.05.18"] [EventDate "2013.05.08"] [Round "9"] [Result "1/2-1/2"] [White "L Aronian"] [Black "M Carlsen"] [ECO [...] Carlsen proves mortal, squandering a golden opportunity to close in on the title with this endgame loss against Wang-Hao. [Event "Norway Chess Tournament"] [Site "0:10:33-0:17:33"] [Date "2013.05.17"] [EventDate "2013.05.07"] [Round "8"] [Result "0-1"] [White "Carlsen"] [Black "Wang Hao"] [ECO "A30"] [WhiteElo "?"] [BlackElo "?"] [PlyCount "2"] 1.c4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 e5 4.d3 [...] In a must-win game, Carlsen was battling to gain advantage against the tournament outsider, and was well behind on time, but an inaccuracy by Hammer let the world number one in. 1 of 2: 2 of 2: [Event "Norway Chess Tournament"] [Site "Sandnes NOR"] [Date "2013.05.15"] [EventDate "2013.05.08"] [Round "7"] [Result "0-1"] [...] Radjabov was on the receiving end of another trademark Carlsen win. An inferior opening, a likely draw, before Carlsen eked out a win by continually pressing for the smallest of advantages. 1 of 2: 2 of 2: [Event "Norway Chess Tournament"] [Site "0:27:33-0:01:33"] [Date "2013.05.14"] [EventDate "2013.05.07"] [Round "5"] [Result "1-0"] [White "Magnus [...] A critical game in the 2013 Norway Chess tournament, with Karjakin leading on 4/4, and Carlsen yet to record a win. Karjakin was on top out of the opening, but Carlsen’s Lasker-like counterplay earned him a superb win. 1 of 2: 2 of 2: [Event "Norway Chess Tournament"] [Site "0:46:33-0:44:33"] [Date "2013.05.13"] [EventDate [...] A very surprising opening left Svidler in a mess, but Carlsen was unable to complete the win, and remains without a win after four rounds.

However, Kramnik was doing likewise at the same time, and, sensationally, both leaders lost, allowing Carlsen to progress in spite [...] Under immense pressure, Carlsen displayed his trademark tenacity and ground out an 89 move win that put him back in the lead of the 2013 Candidates with one round to go. 1 of 4: 2 of 4: 3 of 4: 4 of 4: [Event "World Championship Candidates"] [Site "0:00:33-0:09:33"] [Date "2013.03.31"] [...] |
