In the playing hall Magnus was meeting his dad this day. How did they prepare for the battle?

We don't know what Magnus did, but Henrik and Sigrun went to the mountains in the surroundings of Tromsø. Here is some pictures taken from this trip to "The blue man" or a named in Norwegian BLÅMANNEN

Tough days on work for Nick de Firmian. First day he blundered so badly that he lost to someone nearly 700 elopoints below his own, and today he got punished even more for this by Magnus Carlsen.

These two guys are the two of the GM's with less than two points.

This was also the day when a lot the local guys tried to get a scalp, but failed.
