In a crucial encounter at the Norway Chess tournament, Hikaru Nakamura revitalised his campaign with a decisive victory over World Champion D. Gukesh in the classical format, ending a five-game winless run and shaking up the leaderboard. Nakamura, the world number two, delivered a precise and masterful performance, avenging his earlier loss to Gukesh in Round 3. This result marks a significant shift in momentum, particularly for the young Indian prodigy who had been on a high after consecutive classical victories against Magnus Carlsen and Arjun Erigaisi.
