Round 7 of the Norway Chess tournament witnessed gripping matches with tense moments that significantly impacted the standings as India’s prodigy R Praggnanandhaa, 18, scored another upset by defeating world champion Ding Liren in the armageddon game and, Magnus Carlsen lost his armageddon game against Hikaru Nakamura on time. 

One of the highlights of the day was the match between Koneru Humpy and Vaishali R as Humpy scored the only classical victory of the day in both tournaments. With this loss, the former tournament leader Vaishali’s winning chances have significantly decreased.
