Stavanger [Norway], June 3 (ANI): Round 7 of Norway Chess 2025 brought thrilling games across all boards. One of the standout games featured reigning World Champion Dommaraju Gukesh against fellow Indian grandmaster Arjun Erigaisi, according to a release from Norway Chess.
Erigaisi seized the initiative of the opening, launching what appeared to be a powerful and potentially decisive attack.
