近日，2022国国际象棋闪电战世锦赛（World Blitz Championship）在哈萨克斯坦阿拉木图举行。在闪电战世锦赛首轮比赛中，世界排名第一的挪威国际象棋特级大师芒努斯•卡尔森迟到浪费了2分半钟，却凭借剩下30秒左右的行棋时长，成功击败对手白俄罗斯冠军、国际象棋特级大师弗拉季斯拉夫•科瓦列夫。
World chess champion Magnus Carlsen was 2.5 minutes late in a game with Belarus' Vladislav Kovalev at the World Blitz Championship in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The Norwegian grandmaster won in about 30 seconds.
国际象棋闪电战世锦赛开赛，但首轮比赛就发生了戏剧性的一幕——芒努斯•卡尔森竟然迟到了2分30秒，赶到现场时还穿着运动装……
Carlsen made a dramatic entrance to Round 1 of the World Blitz Championship, running through the playing hall and arriving at his board two minutes and 30 seconds late, still dressed in a tracksuit.
国际象棋快棋和闪电战锦标赛比国际象棋经典赛更有时间压力。
The Rapid and Blitz championships are more time pressured than classical chess.
快棋比赛每位棋手的行棋时间为15分钟，从第1步开始，每步增加10秒的时间；而闪电战则为每方每场只有3分钟的行棋时间，每下一步棋增加2秒。
Rapid allows each player 15 minutes + 10 seconds additional time per move, starting from move 1, while Blitz is three minutes per player per game, with two seconds additional time per move.
本场比赛中，卡尔森的对手是白俄罗斯国际象棋特级大师弗拉季斯拉夫•科瓦列夫。
At the board, Carlsen’s opponent was overruled by the arbiter when he tried to wait for Magnus.
他本想等卡尔森到场后再开始，但是在裁判的严格要求下，不得不先下第一步。当卡尔森小跑着赶到现场落座时，总共3分钟的行棋时间只剩下了30秒。
When Carlsen finally appeared and sprinted across the hall to his board, there were only 30 seconds remaining of his three minutes.
不过，由于参赛时没来得及换衣服，他因为违反比赛的着装要求而受到了警告。
With no time to change clothes, he then received a warning for breaking the dress code.
后来有消息称，卡尔森当天早晨去滑雪，返回途中遇上堵车因此迟到。
It was later revealed that Carlsen had gone skiing in the morning but got caught in traffic on the way back.
卡尔森最终赢得了2022国际象棋快速和闪电世锦赛的双料冠军，成为他辉煌职业生涯的最新里程碑。
Magnus Carlsen won both the World Rapid and World Blitz chess titles in Almaty, in the latest landmark of his glittering career.
这是这位今年32岁的挪威棋手在其职业生涯中，第三次成为经典、快速和闪电战三项世界象棋比赛的冠军。此外，没有其他棋手曾在同一年同时获得快棋和闪电战两项冠军。
