Lindores Abbey SF: Nakamura knocks out Carlsen, reaches final

Advertisemen

Hikaru Nakamura bounced back from a 0:3 loss in the first mini-match of the semi-finals by winning the next two rubbers to knock out world champion Magnus Carlsen from the Lindores Abbey Rapid Challenge. The third mini-match went down to the wire, with Nakamura choosing black in the Armageddon decider and beating Carlsen after the latter first achieved a favourable position and then blundered away the game. Nakamura will face Daniil Dubov in the final, starting Monday. | Photos: Austin Fuller / FIDE
