Nepomniachtchi looking good... Did anyone predict this?! I had Ding as the favourite before the start but he's falling to pieces.

So what's left now? Australian rugby league? Bloody virus...

Looks like Caruana has managed to win the Rook+P vs Knight+P endgame vs Maxim. A couple of inaccuracies but even Magnus was struggling with it while looking at tablebases. Still needs to be converted.

Why did Wang resign against Nepo? Looks fairly drawish at the end of the game albeit with White forced to defend.

Carlsen vs Nepo it is. Giri just straight blundered with f5 getting frustrated in a closed position. I'm surprised to see a defeat from that type of scenario in a top level tournament like this, especially considering Giri had to avoid defeat to have any chance of winning the tournament. Of course considering Nepo's superior head-to-head winning a tie-break he was almost virtually assured to win the tournament going into the penultimate round anyway regardless of anything Giri did.

Wang finished in last place and has promptly retired from professional chess altogether. Meanwhile Giri also lost in the last round to let Max slip into second place, not that it really means anything.
