31 July 2022 at 16:20 Draw for Carlsen when Norway lost in the Chess Olympiad Magnus Carlsen had to settle for a draw against Daniele Vocaturo in Sunday’s match in the Chess Olympiad in India. Norway lost 1-3 to Italy. Team captain Jon Kristian Haarr tells news that, unfortunately, it was canceled today. – Hammer bowed roughly in the time crunch, while Tari played a little too loosely. Carlsen overdid it since we needed a win, says Haarr. Aryan Tari drew against Luca Moroni in a game that ended after 40 moves. Then both Jon Ludvig Hammer and Johan-Sebastian Christiansen got into trouble against their opponents. Lorenzo Lodici beat Hammer after 41 moves, while Francesco Sonis beat Christiansen after 59 moves. Carlsen’s party was the last one still running, but Norway had no chance in the game. After 56 moves, it ended in a draw. Carlsen and Hammer played with black pieces, Tari and Christiansen with white. Norway won their first two matches in the tournament. Lebanon was beaten on Friday and Uruguay on Saturday. In the women’s class, things went better for Norway on Sunday, with a 4-0 victory over Guatemala. Monika Machlik, Edit Machlik, Alena Ayzenberg and Maud Rødsmoen won their games. The women, like the team in the open class, have two wins and one loss so far in the tournament, which lasts until 10 August. (NTB)
