We Know the Tournament Winner! | Firouzja vs Carlsen | Altibox Norway Chess, Stavanger 2020

Before announcing the winner of the tournament, we would like to show another masterclass taught by Magnus Carlsen. This time very thematic opposition in chess. And we could learn some different types of it in just this video: distant opposition chess endgame, diagonal opposition chess endgame. Once you watch it, you should understand roughly the idea of flanking and opposition chess endgame patterns.

The 8th Altibox Norway Chess 2020 tournament takes place Mon 5th Oct to Fri 16th Oct 2020 in Stavanger, Norway. The 6 players have been isolated for the last few days in order to play this over the board event. Players Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, Levon Aronian, Jan-Krzysztof Duda, Alireza Firouzja, and Arjan Tari. The event uses an unusual format in that there are three points for a win and if drawn there is a single Armageddon game where the winner gets 1.5 points and the loser 1 point.
