Two players are sharing the lead with two rounds to go at the TePe Sigeman & Co. Tournament: Arjun Erigaisi and Peter Svidler. Svidler, the defending champion in Malmö, joined the lead by beating former co-leader Anton Korobov with the white pieces. Standing a half point behind the frontrunners are Korobov and Vincent Keymer.
Svidler’s victory over Korobov had a lot to do with the Russian grandmaster’s recent work as a second of Praggnanandhaa’s at the Candidates Tournament in Toronto. In a battle featuring both kings castled on the queenside, a miscalculation by Korobov allowed Svidler to grab the initiative in the late middlegame. The 47-year-old then converted his advantage into a win without much difficulty.
In Thursday’s penultimate round, Arjun will have the white pieces against Svidler in the clash of co-leaders, while the closest chasers, Korobov and Keymer, will face Nils Grandelius and Nodirbek Abdusattorov, respectively.
