Norway Chess 2022 Round 2, Super Grandmaster Wesley So showed a very strong performance after he defeated World Champion Magnus Carlsen in the Armageddon game.

Hold the white pieces with 10 minutes of time control while the Black has 7 minutes of time control. GM So had the pressure because he is forced to win, otherwise, if it's just a Draw, Magnus will win the Armageddon.

The fight was so intense that it reached the 50th move of Giuoco Piano's opening battle. GM So has twice defeated the world champion in this tournament starting from the Norway Blitz Category.

GM So remains leading and he will face GM Anish Giri of the Netherlands in Round 3.

Here is the Pairing of Round 3

1 GM Carlsen, M. 2864 - - GM Radjabov, T. 2753

2 GM Giri, Anish 2761 - - GM So, Wesley 2766

3 GM Anand, V. 2751 - - GM Wang, Hao 2744

4 GM Mamedyarov 2770 - - GM Topalov, V. 2730

5 GM Dance, Aryan 2654 - - GM Vachier-Lagr. 2750
