Abdusattorov - Gukesh: 1-1.5
The third Classical game of 2023 between D Gukesh (2732) and Nodirbek Abdusattorov (2731) ended in a draw. The former World Rapid champion brought a new move which put Gukesh in a think tank. However, the game did not have any fireworks, as their previous encounters have displayed, and it ended in a draw.
Gukesh was winning the Armageddon against Abdusattorov. However, he decided to repeat moves as he was playing with the black pieces which means a draw was enough to win the Armageddon and the match too. [Click on moves for a replay board]

Carlsen - Giri: 1.5-1
Magnus Carlsen (NOR, 2853) will have to wait a little longer to beat Anish Giri (NED, 2768) in a Classical game as their Classical encounter at this event ended in a draw. The world no.1 won the must-win Armageddon to clinch the match.

Caruana - Mamedyarov: 0-3
Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (AZE, 2738) hasn't beaten Fabiano Caruana (USA, 2764) in a Classical rated game since Superbet Chess Classic in June 2021. That certainly gave him the confidence to bring Caruana's great momentum to a halt.
