Magnus Carlsen secured his record 7th Norway Chess title after a tense final round where Fabiano Caruana defeated India's D Gukesh. Gukesh, under time pressure, blundered and finished third with 14.5 points, narrowly missing the title. Caruana’s win helped him grab second place with 15.5 points, while Carlsen topped the leaderboard with 16 points after a draw with Arjun Erigaisi. In the women’s section, Anna Muzychuk clinched the title despite losing the Armageddon tie-break to India’s R Vaishali. Koneru Humpy’s title hopes faded after only managing a draw in her classical game against Ju Wenjun.
