A decisive result was finally seen at the Sinquefield Cup in Saint Louis. Wesley So’s win over Richard Rapport was not the only exciting game of round 4, though. Anish Giri, for example, showed razor-sharp opening preparation in his game against Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, while Alireza Firouzja almost managed to take down Leinier Dominguez in a double-edged struggle.
So is now the sole leader with 2½/4 points, as he is set to face Dominguez with black in the last round before the rest day. Resting on Saturday will be Fabiano Caruana, who was supposed to face Jan-Krzysztof Duda in the fifth round.
