One of the most interesting aspects of the Candidates Tournament was the superb opening preparation, and in particular how they managed to set each other problems which hadn’t been foreseen. This is a special skill that involves interacting with the fearsome engines not to find the “best” moves but ones which are almost as strong according to the silicon evaluation but lower down the food chain! | Photo: FIDE / Michal Walusza
Despite entering the final round a half point behind three co-leaders, Nodirbek Abdusattorov ended up claiming overall victory at the TePe Sigeman & Co. Tournament in Malmö. Abdusattorov defeated Marc’Andria Maurizzi in round 7, while co-leaders Arjun Erigaisi and Peter Svidler only managed draws in their games Anton Korobov lost to Ju Wenjun and was left out of contention. A 3-player blitz tiebreaker saw Abdusattorov showing stronger nerves than his opponents to become the tournament winner. | Photo: Mikael Svensson / tepesigemanchess.com
