Norway Chess 2023: An Analysis of GI Scores and Engine Accuracy after Rounds 1-7
The Norway Chess 2023 tournament has thus far featured thrilling games. When we look at the Game Intelligence (GI) scores and average Game Point Loss (avg GPL), interesting patterns emerge.
In the classical games, Fabiano Caruana has the highest GI score, suggesting that he is taking optimal risks and inducing his opponents to make mistakes. Wesley So and Anish Giri, on the other hand, have been the most accurate according to the engine's evaluations (as seen by the lower GPL), with So slightly leading.
When it comes to the Armageddon games, Magnus Carlsen stands out as the only player with a positive GI score, a rare occurrence in this format. This indicates that his gains have outweighed the risks he has taken. In terms of engine accuracy in Armageddon games, Alireza Firouzja is the leader, followed closely by Shakhriyar Mamedyarov.
As the tournament progresses, it will be interesting to see how these statistics evolve. The remaining two rounds could bring changes and surprises.
