‘Not going to win every tournament but...': Magnus Carlsen on third-place finish at Las Vegas Freestyle event
Magnus Carlsen fought back from a poor start to finish third at the Las Vegas Freestyle Chess Grand Slam, beating Hikaru Nakamura in the $100,000 playoff. Levon Aronian won the title against Hans Niemann, with Carlsen praising his resilience. read more World No.1 Magnus Carlsen made a strong comeback to finish third at the Las Vegas leg of the Freestyle Chess Grand Slam on Monday. The five-time World Champion had a slow start to the tournament and suffered some early setbacks before making a comeback. Carlsen lost crucial games to Indian chess prodigy R Praggnanandhaa and American-Armenian Grandmaster Levon Aronian in the classification round, which meant he missed out on the quarterfinals and could no longer fight for the title. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD However, the Norwegian superstar didn't give up and dominated the lower bracket, winning five matches in a row before defeating American GM Hikaru Nakamura in the third-place playoff match to win $100,000 prize (over Rs 86 lakh) and finish on the podium. 'I had one really bad day, and that cost me in the end. But winning five matches in a row, even if the stakes aren't that high, feels really good,' Carlsen said about his performance at the Las Vegas Freestyle Chess Grand Slam. 'It was a bit up and down but overall I'm fairly happy with my level in those few games. I felt like I finished off with a really nice win as Black. It builds confidence for my next event. Things obviously weren't looking that rosy on Wednesday, and I was pretty hard on myself then as well. But now winning the last few matches is always nice. I'm not going to win every tournament but I'm very happy with the way I fought back. So, I will definitely take some positives from this tournament,' he added. Aronian wins the title Meanwhile, Levon Aronian went on to win the event, beating American GM Hans Niemann 1.5-0.5 in the final to claim the $200,000 prize (Rs 1.7 crore). Aronian held firm in a tough first game before putting on a brilliant performance in the second to seal the victory. Carlsen praised Aronian for his resilience and said he was the 'deserved winner.' It is also important to note that Carlsen and Niemann have a tense history. Their relationship soured after Carlsen accused Niemann of cheating back in 2022, which created a huge controversy in the chess world. Niemann later filed a lawsuit against Carlsen, seeking damages for defamation. Although the legal dispute was eventually settled, the rivalry between the two has remained tense. 'It was incredibly impressive, very well deserved as well. He faced a lot of adversity for sure, especially the second game against Hikaru, it took a lot of mental resilience to be able to continue to press after he had several little chances to win, but he didn't take them. The way he fought in difficult positions against Arjun as well. Like, he was completely busted but came back,' Carlsen said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'I'm very, very happy for Levon. Um, he is… I think he has probably been the biggest fan of freestyle among the top players for many years. There is always some consolation in having lost to the tournament winner. And clearly, you know, the deserved one,' he added.

Ind vs Eng 4th Test: With key players missing, Shubman faces the biggest test of leadership yet
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Few roles in cricket come with as much scrutiny as leading India in a Test series in foreign conditions — and for Shubman Gill , the pressure has arrived in full Gill was appointed the captain of India's Test team, he had no prior experience of leading the national team. His only leadership experience at the top level came in the IPL, where he led Gujarat Titans for the last two seasons. And it showed in the first Test at Headingley where he let England chase down 371 in the fourth innings with such ease that it never felt like India were in the game at it didn't affect Gill's batting as he went on to score a brilliant century in his debut Test as captain in Leeds and followed it up with 269 and 161 in the second as India out-batted England in Birmingham to level the series. And it somewhat couched his captaincy flaws, the time the third Test moved closer to conclusion, though, the pressure of captaincy had started to show on Gill. It didn't help that he could only score a total of 22 runs across two innings. Usually not the one to indulge in on-field theatrics, Gill had a rare on-field exchange with Zak Crawley just before stumps on day three. That's what the pressure of a long Test series does to players, nudging them towards breaking their character."Honestly, physically it's been less tiring — mentally, it's been more exhausting. As a player, you're usually just waiting for something to happen, waiting for the ball to come to you. But as captain, you're thinking all the time. You're mentally more involved,' Gill said about his experience of leading the side in three began the series with a calm head and a mountain of runs to avoid the traps of expectation that often unsettle new Test captains, as well as the desperation to earn the respect of teammates. It showed that he could stay in the present, not allowing the anxiety about the future to muddle his thinking. Now, with India trailing 1-2 and the series on the line, he must show that he can also handle the pressure of to England, Gill didn't carry any scars. He had played only two Tests before he made his captaincy debut on June 20 — a one-off Test in 2022 against England and the World Test Championship final against Australia in 2023. India lost both of those Tests, but Gill was the youngest and least experienced player in that team, shielded from the criticism. In that sense, the Punjab lad entered the England series with a clean India head into the fourth Test, however, Gill's team is not only carrying mental bruises of recent defeats and disappointments that could have been avoided with slightly better application on the field, but also physical injuries that have forced the team management to rethink their playing will be without Nitish Kumar Reddy, a batting allrounder who bowls seam up, which could have been very helpful in Manchester where a pacer-friendly pitch awaits the two teams. Reddy, nursing a knee injury, will take no further part in the series and return home for the Deep, India's bowling hero in the second Test, has been ruled out with a groin injury. Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh's long-awaited debut has been derailed due to hand injury he suffered in nets.'Never easy when there is a bit of injuries going on in the squad, but I think we have got enough good players in the team to be able to get 20 wickets,' said Gill at the pre-match press was some good news, too. Gill confirmed that his deputy Rishabh Pant's finger has healed enough for him to keep fourth Test has the potential of taking away the series from India. How Gill navigates this tough phase with a depleted squad, rising expectations and mounting pressure could be the first real test of his long-term captaincy credentials.
