Humour in the Dubov game with the black squared bishops.

Fabiano won a marvelous ending against Alireza . What players they are. Alireza is going to play against the surprising David Howell. Has the many hours, he spends commenting on the games of the best players in the game improved his game ? Maybe. Tomorrow we'll have Alireza- Howell and MVL- Caruana. MVL Caruana is going to be a great game .Comment

Rd 10 https://www.chessbomb.com/arena/2021...torov_Nodirbek Another lesson from Aronian on black taking the bishop on f4. Whose bishop is better? Answer: White's after Be4! and Bd3
Interesting opening from Shirov https://www.chessbomb.com/arena/2021...exei-Yu_Yangyi after White's 14.a4 the computer changed its evaluation from - to + 0.5 (Its rare to see a - evaluation for several moves and then on a move such as a4 to swing to +)
I like MVL's plan out of the opening with good knight vs bad bishop. White must be better.
A virtual miniature by Vincent Keymer leaves him in great position going into the last round.

MVL - Caruana draw
Firoujza wins in the endgame!
Firoujza in clear first.Comment

Shirov held the draw. Bone accurate calculation. Impressive.Comment
-
Firouza is in a great spot to win this tournament . Hope he does because Alireza has a big talent, He's only 18. If he qualifies for the candidates that would put him in the company of Magnus and Fischer ! Not too bad ,Comment
-
Its definitely Firoujza's moment to shine. I will be rooting for him tomorrow!
and its the last round. I will be sorry to see the tournament end. (almost an overdose of good games)Comment

Last round - Firoujza has drawn. Only Caruana can catch him if he wins.
Caruana ended up drawing. His opponent Predke played a great game and allowed Caruana almost no play.Last edited by Hans Jung; Sunday, 7th November, 2021, 01:16 PM.Comment

Shirov survived another great attack, but his draw leaves him half a point back of Firoujza. Still an impressive result.Comment

https://www.chessbomb.com/arena/2021...ebaum_Matthias Grandelius has a successful king hunt. What a way to end the tournament!

Alireza won the tournament, he is gonna be a candidate and he's number 4 in the world, What a result for Alireza. He also seems to be improving his endgame. That guy is going to be hard to stop. Only 18. He plays incredible and interesting almost all the time. There will be a tiebreak between Fabiano and Gregory Oparin. Hope Fabi gets it. He seems to be back in form.Comment
