Norway Chess 7: Carlsen, Rapport & Firouzja all win

“I’m probably the luckiest I’ve ever been,” said Richard Rapport, as the Hungarian outplayed Sergey Karjakin to take a 3.5-point lead at Norway Chess and climb to world no. 6, above Alexander Grischuk, Anish Giri and Wesley So. Magnus Carlsen has the white pieces against Richard in Round 8 and could cut the gap to half a point after squeezing out another win, this time against Aryan Tari. Meanwhile Alireza Firouzja bounced back to defeat World Championship Challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi.
