Vishy Anand ended a sequence of four draws with a sparkling miniature win against Ian Nepomniachtchi, who found himself lost in 15 moves and a couple of minutes against the former World Champion. Vishy almost followed that up by taking down Hikaru Nakamura, but the US star escaped on a day when China and Europe won both their matches to tighten their grip on qualifying for the final. Peter Svidler played Magnus Carlsen during our live commentary but couldn’t quite upstage an appearance by MrDodgy.
