Oslo Esports Cup 2022
Saturday, April 23, 2022 at 10:59PM
The Oslo Esports Cup is the opening event for the 2022 Meltwater Champions Tour, and as you'd expect from last year's Tour it's a very strong tournament. Magnus Carlsen leads the parade of stars, which also includes top-name players like Jan-Krzysztof Duda, Anish Giri, and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov. It's an eight player round robin, with each round a best-of-four game match with a 15'+10" time control.
Round 1 was on Friday, with these results:
- Carlsen 2.5 - Duda .5
- Giri 2.5 - Eric Hansen 1.5
- Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu (P.R.) 2.5 - Jorden Van Foreest .5
- Mamedyarov 2.5 - Le Quang Liem 1.5
Many of these results were turned upside down in round 2, on Saturday:
- Le 2.5 - Carlsen 1.5
- P.R. 2.5 - Mamedyarov .5
- Van Foreest 2.5 - Hansen 1.5
- Duda 4 - Giri 2
Everyone is 1-1 except for Hansen, who lost twice, and Praggnanandhaa, who has not only won twice but crushed his opponents.
