Fischer Random: Abdusattorov reaches semis with two rounds to spare

Nodirbek Abdusattorov, the youngest participant in Reykjavik, became the first player to secure a spot in the semis of the World Fischer Random Championship. The 18-year-old has a perfect 8/8 score (in match points) and has only drawn one game so far in the event. Abdusattorov’s qualification means either Wesley So or Ian Nepomniachtchi will be eliminated in group A. Meanwhile, in group B, Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura are sharing the lead, two match points ahead of Vladimir Fedoseev. | Photo: FIDE / Lennart Ootes
