MCCT Finals 6: Carlsen stuns Giri with queen sac

Magnus Carlsen said “the way the game went was a dream for me” after winning a tough match against Anish Giri with a spectacular queen sacrifice in the first blitz game. Magnus is now on the brink of overall victory with a 7-point lead and 3 rounds to go after 2nd placed Wesley So was put to the sword by Teimour Radjabov. There were also wins for Hikaru Nakamura and Vladislav Artemiev, but the day’s other most memorable moment was Levon Aronian thinking for almost 6 minutes before blundering mate-in-1 against Jan-Krzysztof Duda.
