Indian chess star Arjun Erigaisi checkmated World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen in the armageddon game of the final round at Norway Chess 2025. But the win didn’t change the outcome — Carlsen had already secured enough points to claim his seventh Norway Chess title. Despite the loss, Carlsen smiled, showing why many call him the GOAT. He finished with 16 points, edging past Fabiano Caruana (15.5) and D Gukesh (14.5). Arjun ended fifth with 13 points. Carlsen said he felt confident playing the younger generation and was happy to outplay them in key moments.
