Fabi and Nepo Continue Fight for First at the Halfway Mark

Quite a round today. We’re at the halfway point and, to everyone’s amazement, Ian Nepomniatchi just keeps winning. With 5½ points out of seven rounds, he has only a half-point lead over the equally hot Fabiano Caruana, but a full two-point lead over third-place holder Hikaru Nakamura at 3½ points. Below Nakamura, Rapport, Ding, and Duda follow with 3 points, while Radjabov and Firouzja are trailing with 2½ points.

It's a Nepomniachtchi-Carlsen World Championship!
