Norway Chess – Carlsen takes first place


Round 10

Each of the 10 rounds consists of a classical game, with a time control of 2 hours for all moves, with a 10-second increment per move only after move 40.

  • In case of a decisive result – the winner gets 3 points; the loser gets 0 points
  • In case of a draw, an Armageddon decider is played – the winner gets 1½ points; the loser gets 1 point 

In Armageddon, White (the same player who had White in the classical game) has 10 minutes to Black’s 7, with a 1-second increment from move 41. Black wins if the game ends in a draw.

A tie for first place will be decided by two 3+2 blitz games followed, if necessary, by an Armageddon game (White gets 5 minutes to Black’s 4).
