ChessKid Cup, Day 4

The final of the Winner's Bracket of the ChessKid Cup went over four games, and after two draws at the start, Nodirbek Abdusattorov won the third game after a tactical blunder by Jorden Van Foreest.

After this defeat Van Foreest had to win the last game, but for a long time it looked as if Abdusattorov, playing with White, would be able to draw without too much difficulty. But then he missed a counterattack by Black and was suddenly in danger of losing. But then Van Foreest played too hastily and gave away his winning position again and had to settle for a draw in the end.

In the Loser's Bracket, Fabiano Caruana surprisingly won 2-0 against Alireza Firouzja (the matches in the Loser's Bracket only go over two games), but in both games he benefited from tactical mistakes by Firouzja.

In the first game, Firouzja was better almost throughout the game, but eventually he lost the thread.

In the second game, Firouzja made a serious tactical error in a complicated position with an unusual material balance, which cost him a piece:

In the semi-finals of the Loser's Bracket, Caruana will meet Jules Moussard, who won against Dmitrij Kollars in Armageddon - but with a bit of luck, as Kollars missed a good opportunity at the crucial moment.

The winner of the match between Caruana and Moussard will play Van Foreest in the Loser's Bracket final. And the winner of that match will play Abdusattorov in the Grand Final.
