The King's speech: Magnus Carlsen has the final say
It's kind of why the five-time world champion said that the kids aren't ready to take over. "At the very least, it's nice to see I can still play," he after his seventh crown in Norway's southwest. "And it's nice to see that at least in parts of the game, I can still be quite a lot better than the guys who are trying to take over." Carlsen's views on the Indian kids Two of those — Gukesh and Arjun Erigaisi — featured in the event. Both players actually did beat the Norwegian (the former in Classical and the latter in Armageddon). "There is no one," the World No. 1, who abdicated his throne in 2023, added. "No one at the moment. That's the honest answer. There could be, but at the moment it's not likely. I think Gukesh showed in this tournament that he's on track, he's doing fantastic, but he's maybe not way ahead of track as we may have thought. I think he's kind of a little bit where I was 2008. You can do extremely well, but you can still see that there are that great results, like they come not only with the quality of the positional play, but it's a lot of fighting qualities. But that is what kids are supposed to do. "You're not supposed to master everything at that age. As for the others, yes, they are good, but the likelihood of one of them becoming like a very clear number one. I don't see it very clearly at the moment." Carlsen also reminded the world that once-in-a-generation players are once in the generation for a reason. Gukesh, who flat out refused to speak to the media in Stavanger, can see the 10-round tournament through two ways. One, would be to look at through the positive lens of finally beating Carlsen and Erigaisi in Classical, something he had never managed to. Two, and a more negative way to look, would be wonder why he allowed himself to fall behind out of the opening in a lot of matches. At this level, it's a bit like trying to stop a car without working brakes. He did it a few times but when you are so fall behind the eight ball, the pressure of having to defend in almost every game will tell. Carlsen's views on Norway Chess While the local favourite did mention that the strongest emotion he felt during the event was his loss to Gukesh, he said he was 'relieved' that he had won it in the end. "It definitely was a very memorable tournament," he said. Considering this is now the only Classical meet he plays on a year on year basis, why does he keep coming back? The answer lies in the pacier time controls. He has long held that four hours is more than enough time to play a good game of chess in this format. "It's rare to see so many twists and turns and of course... the quality wasn't perfect but there was still a lot of good chess. In terms of the format, the reduced time control helps a lot. It's not supposed to be easy to defend. You are not supposed to be helped by increments." In the short term, he remains the world boss across formats. What should concern the others is that he won this event while playing golf for pretty much three-to-four hours on an almost daily basis while some of the others prepped for games. "At the very least, it's nice to see I can still play. And it's nice to see that at least in parts of the game, I can still be quite a lot better than the guys who are trying to take over." Final standings: Open: Magnus Carlsen 16, Fabiano Caruana 15.5, D Gukesh 14.5, Hikaru Nakamura 14, Arjun Erigaisi 13, Wei Yi 9.5; Women: Anna Muzychuk 16.5, Lei Tingjie 16, Koneru Humpy 15, Ju Wenjun 13.5, R Vaishali 11, Sara Khadem 9.

"Allows India to dream": Kalinga Black Tigers coach Mike Friday shares his excitement for the inaugural edition of RPL
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 7 (ANI): Kalinga Black Tigers head coach Mike Friday hailed the Rugby Premier League (RPL) as a groundbreaking platform blending international excellence with domestic talent to help India's rugby dream flourish, according to a release from RPL. A former rugby sevens player himself, Mike Friday proceeded to become England Sevens' most successful coach to date, leading them to 10 titles during his tenure, while also securing a Commonwealth Games silver medal in 2006. He has also played a significant role in building legacies across the teams he has coached, including Kenya Sevens' and USA Sevens' teams. Now taking up a new challenge at the RPL, he described the league's unique appeal, stating, 'It's a very innovative format, a perfect balance between international players and domestic players. When you're trying to grow the sport and build capability, it's crucial to include domestic players in that development. It's a fantastic experience for them, not only in game time but more importantly in training time,' as quoted from a release by RPL. He explained how Indian players will benefit from the exposure they'll get throughout the tournament. 'During training, they get exposed to physical, technical, tactical and mental development from the senior international players which they can then take back to their team and to the next generation of Indian players', Friday reckoned. 'I love that cradle-to-grave idea - creating the legacy for Indian players tomorrow. I think that's what the RPL provides, allowing India to dare to dream and achieve their Olympic dream', he added. Asked about coaching in this league format with top players who don't often play together, Friday called the experience, 'Unique, and one that will come with lifetime memories.' 'Players who normally go head-to-head, country against country, come together to represent their region and the Indians of today and tomorrow. It's a special honour. We're here for a reason - not just to win, but to inspire Indian rugby players and help them become the best versions of themselves. That is humbling and very exciting,' he said. On the emerging domestic talent, Friday praised young players' resilience, especially Arjun Mahato. 'It's very hard for Indian players. On occasions, they've been thrown into the deep end, going under the water a lot. But the challenge is to survive in the deep water. They're improving every session. I tell them: you have to get it wrong to get it right - that's what they're doing and learning,' he added. He singled out Arjun for rising to the challenge, saying, 'He's confident, knows what to do, but more importantly he's ready to discuss why. That's half the challenge. Indian players tend to wait to be told what to do, but they need to understand why we do it. Then they can teach rather than just be taught. Arjun is already embracing that.' On the league's organization and facilities, Friday was effusive in praise. 'The league has done fantastically well. It's easy to look from the outside and think it's simple, but there's so much behind-the-scenes business. The RPL has done extremely well. There's been fantastic work getting all the owners on board and bringing in the best players and coaches in the world,' he noted. 'We're excited, inspired, and ready to add to a legacy. Kudos to to India Rugby', Friday concluded. (ANI)
