GM Fabiano Caruana gained ground on GM Alireza Firouzja after GM Ian Nepomniachtchi made a shocking blunder at the 2024 Sinquefield Cup on Sunday. Caruana is now tied for second with GM Wesley So while Firouzja continues to have a half-point lead on the field.
GM Anish Giri was on the verge of scoring his first win of the tournament, against GM Nodirbek Abdusattorov, but the Uzbek grandmaster slipped away in the last moments.
The Sinquefield Cup will continue with round seven on Monday, August 26, at 2 p.m. ET / 20:00 CEST / 11:30 p.m. IST.
