After losing to Peter Svidler in Wednesday’s fifth round, Anton Korobov rejoined the lead by beating Nils Grandelius with the white pieces on the penultimate day of action. Korobov is now sharing first place with Svidler and Arjun Erigaisi, who faced each other and signed a 36-move draw on Thursday.
Korobov’s victory over Grandelius was not the only decisive result of the day, though, as Nodirbek Abdusattorov beat Vincent Keymer to remain with outside chances of winning the event. The Uzbek star stands a half point behind the leading trio, and might even win the tournament outright — though that is a very unlikely scenario.
