Blindfold and simul in Porsgrunn June 16th.
Last weekend Magnus visited his Elista second GM Kjetil Lie during the theatre festival in Porsgrunn (150 km southwest of Oslo) to play blindfold against Kjetil, a simul together with Kjetil making alternating moves and to practice pool.
Kjetil is taking a year off from his school job to play chess full time with the help of local sponsors.
Following his blindfold pratice in Denmark and Monaco Amber Magnus early established a promising position with the black pieces in the blindfold debut of Kjetil. A few relaxed moves by Magnus brought tension back into the game, but Kjetil allowed Magnus to mate him in the end.
In the 40 board simul Jarle Nilsen (was to close to winning) and young promissing Timmie Nygaard made draws.
