Wesley So holds the lead in the ongoing Norway Chess 2026 double round-robin in Oslo, where the field includes world number one Magnus Carlsen, world champion Gukesh Dommaraju, Vincent Keymer, Alireza Firouzja, and Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu. Recent classical results have seen So extend his advantage through consistent scoring and Armageddon tiebreak success, while Firouzja dropped consecutive classical games, including a loss to Praggnanandhaa. Pragg has gained ground with key wins over top opponents and strong accuracy in critical rounds. The tournament's format, emphasizing both classical play and rapid tiebreaks, along with the compressed schedule and home advantage for Carlsen, continues to shape the tight race among the top three contenders heading into the final rounds.
