Nakamura Continues Cup Lead With Another Tuesday Win

GM Hikaru Nakamura and GM Jan-Krzysztof Duda took home Titled Tuesday on January 23 with 9.5 points. After Nakamura held tiebreaks over GM Wesley So and GM Vladimir Fedoseev, Duda became the first outright winner of 2024 (with seven people tied behind him for second place). 

No one has yet to catch Nakamura in the early Titled Cup standings, thanks to his regular and consistent performance. Only a player’s top 20 Titled Tuesday scores of the year count for the Titled Cup, but that means every tournament will continue to count until mid-March.
