2019 Cup Chronicles Issue 5
The round before the day off had the highest number of decisive results and a shake up in the leaderboard. There is now a three way tie for first place as Ding Liren joins Viswanathan Anand and Fabiano Caruana with a win over Anish Giri. Anand had an easy day in the office while Caruana had to put in quite a lot of work to earn his half a point. With a win over Hikaru Nakamura, Ian Nepomniachtchi joins the big tie for fourth place. The games will resume Friday with a lot of exciting matchups ahead!
