I got some food poisoning after the game against Abasov. I haven’t been able to eat for the last two days. This also meant that I was really calm cause I had no energy to be nervous, I am happy with the way that I solved the problem in the opening so the result is fine,” Carlsen had mentioned.
“Praggnanandhaa has already played a lot of tiebreaks against very strong players… I know he is very strong. If I have some energy, if I have a good day, obviously I will have good chances,” Carlsen mentioned later the second one sport.
