ChessKid Cup, Day 4
In the semi-final against Moussard, Caruana was the clear favourite, but it was Moussard who took a 1-0 lead with White in the opening game. But in the second game Caruana equalised with White and so the Armageddon game had to decide.
Caruana had Black and managed to secure a draw and victory in the match without much trouble.
In the final of the Loser's Bracket Caruana then met Jorden Van Foreest. After two draws this match also saw an Armageddon tiebreaker. Caruana had White and won with a convincing positional performance.
