Norway celebrated today his second World Chess Champion as Aryan Tari convincingly won the 56th edition of the World Junior Chess Championship held in Tarvisio, Italy. It’s a good news for the World “senior” Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen too, as he finally has a worthy rival even in chess matters! Today Tari needed only a draw to win solo, but his opponent, Jorden van Foreest from Netherlands, was not in the mood of gift giving: 29. Rf7! Qxf7 30. Qxd7 c5 31. Nc6 Qd5! 32. Qxd5 Nxd5 33.
