GM Fabiano Caruana continues to lead the 2024 SuperUnited Rapid & Blitz Croatia, now by 4.5 points after the first day of blitz. GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave scored the most points on Saturday and is Caruana’s closest rival, along with GM Wesley So.
Meanwhile, local hero GM Ivan Saric earned our Game of the Day distinction after winning an exciting „street fight“ in the Sicilian Najdorf against GM Ian Nepomniachtchi. This came after he also upset GM Levon Aronian earlier in the day.
The final day starts one hour earlier on Sunday, July 14, at 8:15 a.m. ET / 14:15 CEST / 5:45 p.m. IST.
