Witness the unforgettable drama of Round 3 at the 45th FIDE Chess Olympiad as the world’s top chess player, GM Magnus Carlsen, makes an extraordinary entrance! 🚲⏳
In an incredible turn of events, Carlsen arrived late to his game—by bike! Believing he had lost by default, he was racing against the clock with just four minutes to spare before the default time. As fate would have it, the start of the games was delayed by 15 minutes due to weather conditions, and WFM Maria Emelianova came to his rescue, showing him a way into the venue despite his missing badge.
Watch how Carlsen, with a dramatic flair, secured a smooth checkmate victory against GM Roberto Garcia Pantoja. His stunning performance led Norway to a decisive 3.5-0.5 win over Colombia. 🎉
Carlsen later reflected on the chaos with a smile, calling it “a fun story.” It turns out that even the world’s number-one player isn’t immune to a little misadventure! He shared that staying at a different hotel from his teammates led to this scramble, as they were stuck in traffic and he had to improvise his way to the venue.
Don’t miss this thrilling chess moment where preparation meets the unexpected! 📚♟️
