RT @jfernandez: Just realized Hikaru’s all time peak FIDE rating was 2816 (in Oct. 2015.) This is 10th highest of all time w/ Ding Liren &….

Arjun Erigaisi had to work very hard, but he wins to move to 2.5/3, half a point behind Maghsoodloo!

A first win for Hans Niemann, who moves to 2/3 after gradually outplaying Rasmus Svane!

And Arjun is also now winning, just when Demchenko seemed finally to be escaping!

And it's on the board, with Pragg now also getting an extra 20 minutes to work everything out!.
Late drama, as Boris Gelfand blunders and Praggnanandhaa will be winning if he finds 60. Qh4!

A bold move by Alireza Firouzja, but Parham Maghsoodloo is winning if he takes the rook and finds the best follow-up!

18-year-old French Champion Marc'Andria Maurizzi found the calm 16.Be3! and was winning here. Black can take the rook, but White would take on f6 and the black king is too weak—Maurizzi went on to pick up the full point!

No, but as Gukesh against him the day before, Erdogmus may have let the win slip on move 40!.
37. Nf4! was a draw for Keymer, but 37. Qf4? is actually winning for Erdogmus—but will the youngster repeat moves for a draw?

28. Qxd5 runs into 29.Ng6+! and 30.Qh4+, which Badelka realized too late! She didn't take the rook, but after 28. Bxb2 White was completely winning
