The game that could decide Gukesh's Candidates spot - Harikrishna vs Gukesh | Commentary by IM Sagar Shah | Video: ChessBase India
Gukesh survived the Harikrishna challenge to win the tournament
Arjun Erigaisi had never beaten Sanan Sjugirov until today. He was determined to score the full point, and that's what he played for.
9.Ra2 followed by 10.Kf2 certainly showed Arjun's intent early in the game.
Here Arjun missed 32.f6 and played 32.Rb2 instead. While f6 in the above position would have ended things a bit earlier, nevertheless he executed it three moves later and the outcome went in his favor as the position demanded.

This DVD allows you to learn from the example of one of the best players in the history of chess and from the explanations of the authors how to successfully organise your games strategically, and how to keep your opponent permanently under pressure.
Arjun Erigaisi registered his third win of the event, allowing him to gain 8.3 rating points
GM Pavel Eljanov - GM Levon Aronian: ½-½
GM Alexandr Predke played only one rated game against GM Parham Maghsoodloo a few months ago. Predke won that game. It was time for Maghsoodloo to deliver the equalizer.
White made a wild decision to go for 14.0-0 despite his kingside being quite exposed. Perhaps the idea was to exploit the f-file, which did not work out. 14...Nb6 15.e4 Bg4 16.Ne2 dxe4 17.Bxe4 c6 18.Ne5 Qh4 19.Rf4 f5 20.Bxc6+
White was determined to score his first victory of the event, so he went all-in: 20.Bxc6+ bxc6 21.Qxc6+ Kd8 22.Qb7?? Rh7 and it's over.
Alexandr Predke and Parham Maghsoodloo played an explosive game, which the latter won
