Norway Gnomes Take Down Volga Stormbringers
GM Magnus Carlsen leads the Gnomes to victory against the Stormbringers 10.5 - 5.5. Carlsen went undefeated 4-0, very impressive considering the fact that he's enjoying a rest day at the strong Tata Steel tournament. In the third round of the match, Carlsen played a beautiful attack against IM Azat Sharafiev (see game below).
