In chess, games between Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura have been such must-watch encounters. And on Friday, to the delight of fans, the two giants of the game will meet each other in the grand final of the Airthings Masters with $30,000 on the line. The pair met only a few days ago in the tournament’s winner’s final on Wednesday, with Carlsen winning in the Armageddon decider by bidding just one second less than Nakamura to get the black pieces, therefore only needing a draw to go through.
With his victory in the Armageddon game, Nakamura gave himself another opportunity to dethrone the reigning champion Carlsen. In the uniquely formatted Airthings Masters, if Carlsen was to lose the grand final, there would be a reset final – a best of three encounter. Despite beating Nakamura last time out, five-time world champion Carlsen said their game was “really, really poor quality,” admitting he was surprised by the early finish of the games in the losers bracket.
