With only two rounds to go, Norway Chess 2014 has no clear winner - all results are within 1 point difference and anything can happen.

The only decisive game in the 7th round was the 131-moves game between Giri and Karjakin which continued for almost 8 hours, mostly drawish with slight winning chances for Giri with the whites, who while trying to win, blundered at the very end and gave the victory to Karjakin!

Very strong play by Simen Agdestein with no loss so far, he is meeting his student Magnus Carlsen in the last round.

A rest day tomorrow with a celebrity tournament, round 8 is on Thursday, 12th June.
