Nothing changed atop the standings of the Tata Steel Masters, as Nodirbek Abdusattorov held Anish Giri to a draw with black, and Magnus Carlsen could not get much with white against Wesley So. Thus, Abdusattorov still has a half point lead over Giri ahead of the tournament’s final weekend. Meanwhile, in the Challengers, Alexander Donchenko beat top seed Amin Tabatabaei to go into the final two days of action in sole first place. | Photo: Jurriaan Hoefsmit / Tata Steel Chess Tournament 2023
