KOLKATA: Magnus Carlsen perhaps doesn’t like a close finish. Many expected a thrilling end to the open category of the rapid section of Tata Steel India Open Rapid and Blitz meet on Friday with Uzbekistan Nodirbek Abdusattorov breathing down Carlsen’s neck with just half-a-point difference between the two.
But in the end Carlsen emerged champion with a round to go as Abdusattorov suffered two losses in the opening two rounds of the last day while Carlsen continued his good run to get past Vincent Keymer and Daniil Dubov.
