The Norwegian - who won theTata Steel Rapid and Blitzmeet which had been a part of the Grand Chess Tour during his first visit to the city in 2019 - did a double here on Sunday by clinching the blitz meet after bagging the rapid section
The way the world No. 1 player dominated the tournament will no doubt serve as a warning to all before the World Rapid and Blitz meet scheduled for next month in New York. Interestingly he won both the categories with a round to spare

Arjun was the only player to defeat Carlsen in the tournament and caught up with him after the 14th round with a win against Daniil Dubov while the Norwegian drew with Vincent Keymer. With Nihal Sarin doing well to hold Carlsen in the next round Arjun went to the top with a win against SL Naray
