The three leaders from the day before remained in the same position after the final day of rapid chess in the 2024 Saint Louis Rapid & Blitz. GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave won the last round to re-join the lead, while GM Alireza Firouzja drew and GM Ian Nepomniachtchi lost, leaving all three players right back where they started.
After finishing the day previous day with a loss and two points above last place, GM Hikaru Nakamura has jumped into the chasing pack of players two points behind the leaders, still in contention to win it in the blitz portion.
Two days of blitz begin on August 15, at 2 p.m. ET / 20:00 CEST / 11:30 p.m. IST.
