Magnus Carlsen defeats World Champion Gukesh in Norway Chess 2026 clash

Published by Webster

Magnus Carlsen emerged victorious in the marquee matchup of Round 4 at Norway Chess 2026, defeating reigning world champion Gukesh Dommaraju in a closely fought classical game in Oslo on Thursday. Playing with the black pieces, Carlsen gradually gained the upper hand in a position that remained balanced for much of the contest. The turning point came in the middlegame, where the world No. 1 capitalised on his opportunities and increased the pressure on Gukesh. Facing a difficult position and mounting time trouble, the Indian grandmaster was unable to recover as Carlsen converted his advantage into a valuable victory. The result boosted Carlsen’s standing in the tournament after a relatively slow start and kept him firmly in contention for the title.

OpenAI defeats Musk in lawsuit over nonprofit mission, removing IPO obstacle | Technology News

Published by Parlour News

A US jury on Monday ruled against Elon Musk in his lawsuit against OpenAI, finding the artificial intelligence company not liable to the world’s richest person for having allegedly strayed from its original mission to benefit humanity. In a unanimous verdict, the jury in Oakland, California, federal court said Musk brought his case too late. The jury deliberated less than two hours. The three-week trial had widely been seen as a critical moment for the future of OpenAI and artificial intelligence generally, both in how it should be used and who should benefit from it. The verdict simplifies the path for OpenAI to proceed with a possible initial public offering that could value the business at $1 trillion. But OpenAI’s public face, Chief Executive ⁠Sam Altman, must ​also address the challenges to his reputation from some extremely personal testimony during the trial, including multiple witnesses describing him as a liar. Musk said he will appeal, repeating his claim that Altman and OpenAI President Greg Brockman viewed OpenAI as a means to great wealth. “Altman & …

Arjun Erigaisi defeats Jorden van Foreest, moves to joint lead of TePe Sigeman; Magnus Carlsen bounces back after loss

Published by Webster

2 min readUpdated: May 6, 2026 06:49 PM IST The highest-ranked Indian male chess player, Arjun Erigaisi, moved into the joint lead of the TePe Sigeman chess tournament after beating Dutch Grandmaster Jorden van Foreest in the fifth round on Tuesday. Arjun caught up with the overnight leader and the youngest player in the lineup, Yaagiz Kaan Erdogmus, with both sitting on 3.5 points each with two rounds to go. The Indian pounced on a blunder by the Dutchman. Playing with the white pieces in the Slav game against van Foreest, Arjun won the game in just 30 moves after the latter made two decisive errors in the middlegame. First, he allowed Arjun to win a pawn, and then he blundered his entire rook and resigned in a completely losing position, handing Arjun his second win of the tournament. Arjun had previously beaten Swedish GM and local player Nils Grandelius in the third round. Erdogmus could have taken the sole lead in the event with a win but avoided a big scare against American Andy …

3 min readUpdated: Apr 27, 2026 09:29 AM IST With his team surrendering a 156-run chase in a Super Over defeat to the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday night, Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant cut a sorry figure as he attempted to review the string of unending losses. The numbers are damning. LSG have dropped all of their last five matches this season, and the records plunge further at home, where they have now lost eight consecutive matches under Pant, who took over as captain last year after being roped in for a record Rs 27.50 crore. Former India batter Wasim Jaffer suggested that LSG replace Pant and appoint South Africa skipper Aiden Markram as captain.

Dhurandhar The Revenge Box Office: Ranveer Singh starrer defeats Pathaan and Saiyaara to emerge #1 film in the United Kingdom

Published by Parlour News

Dhurandhar: The Revenge has collected GBP 4.388 million in the United Kingdom and with that, the Ranveer Singh starrer has emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film of all time in the country, surpassing Pathaan. The film is still running and will probably close around GBP 4.45-4.50 million. Dhurandhar: The Revenge was already the top grosser for Indian cinema in Canada and Australia. In the United States, it is second behind Baahubali: The Conclusion. For the Hindi film industry, it is the top grosser. As such, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is now #1 Bollywood film in all major markets, except UAE-GCC, where it didn’t release. In the United States, Canada, and Australia, even the first Dhurandhar was the record grosser. Still, it missed the same in the United Kingdom, ending up fourth behind Pathaan, Saiyaara, and Jawan. This market has a substantial presence of Pakistani and Bangladeshi diaspora, which makes a significant chunk of the audience for Indian cinema. The subject matter of Dhurandhar films, with patriotic themes, probably kept them away, which is probably why the …

Ayush Shetty defeats World No 1 Kunlavut Vitidsarn to make Asian Championships final

2 min readUpdated: Apr 11, 2026 12:21 PM IST India’s latest badminton sensation Ayush Shetty matched majestically into the finals of the Badminton Asia Championships at Ningbo on Sunday, defeating World No 1 Kunlavut Vitidsarn 10-21, 21-19, 21-17 on Saturday. It was his big booming smash that comes from near 7 feet vantage when he jumps that he summoned whenever things got tricky, and used it as an escape route to defeat one of the most consistent and controlled opponents on the circuit. Kunlavut, a former World Champion, plays with immense control, has great footwork and a wide range of strokes. However he was often pinned to the back court by body attacks from Ayush, whose offensive intent goes beyond the smashes and into midcourt down hits.

5 min readApr 8, 2026 10:37 PM IST On a day when the attention of Indian chess fans was fixated on Cyprus to see the fate of the three Indians in action at the twin Candidates tournaments, Aarit Kapil, a 10-year-old boy from New Delhi’s Mayur Vihar, was causing rumbles on the chessboard at the Menorca International Chess Open. Aarit, who had shot into limelight in June last year as a nine-year-old for almost defeating Magnus Carlsen in an online blitz game, defeated Kazakh grandmaster Kazybek Nogerbek in an over-the-board classical game on Wednesday on the Spanish island. Unlike many other tales of young up-and-comers taking down grandmasters who are past their prime, in this case, Aarit took down a grandmaster whose star is on the rise. Nogerbek was crowned the World Junior Champion in 2024 (the same edition where Divya Deshmukh became a Women’s World Junior Champion). Playing with white pieces, Aarit defied a rating deficit of 233 points to beat the Kazakh GM, who is two rungs above the FIDE Master title which …

3 min readApr 8, 2026 09:41 PM IST There was no fancy strike-making and shot-playing. Just the willingness to put her head down, endure the punishing rallies that are an everyday 9 to 5 of international badminton, stay persistent and never give up. Unnati Hooda showed the rigour to retrieve unreservedly, and defeated Thailand southpaw Supanida Katethong at the Badminton Asia Championships (BAC) late in Ningbo on Wednesday. Unnati takes on the Japanese wunderkid Tomoka Miyazaki on Thursday. The 72-minute marathon ended 23-25, 21-8, 21-18 in favour of the Indian. Unnati had gotten herself into the ditch, fluffing a 19-12 lead in the opener to lose the first set 23-25. She had frittered 4 set points. But she dug herself out of that lapse of focus, and literally put her head down to plot her upclimb. She defended tenaciously, keeping a good whip on her defenses, but most importantly, picked the short drops that the World No 11 Supanida tends to play to the forecourt The Indian, ranked No 27, has been spoken of as …
