Candidates Round 10: Nakamura and Caruana Bounce Back, Lei in Shared Lead

The Open section of the Candidates remains wide open as the two leaders, Gukesh and Nepomniachtchi, drew their individual game today. Meanwhile, Nakamura and Caruana bounced back with wins against Abasov and Firouzja, respectively. In the Women’s section, Tan drew her game against Humpy as she is now joined by a surging Lei, who won against Goryachkina to wedge a one-point lead over their two closest rivals, Gorychkina and Lagno. Tomorrow’s rest day will be very important for the players as the tournament winds down to what promises to be a very exciting finish.
