Arctic Securities Rapid: Carlsen gets 'hammered', reaches final

8/29/2010 – Sorry, we simply had to use the pun, which was slipped to us by a British colleague. Top seed Magnus Carlsen, who almost suffered defeat in the first half of this tournament, actually did lose to compatriot Jon Ludvig Hammer in the second half. He survived an attack by Judit Polgar to join Vishy Anand, reigning supreme with 5.0/6, in Monday's final. Don't miss it.
