Here are the standings, with Giri-MVL and Caruana-Nepomniachtchi still to play their Round 1 matches tomorrow!
#MagnusInvite

✅Solution
To win, White must prevent Black from playing e4.
1. Ba7! Ba1 2. Kb1! Bc3 3. Kc2 Ba1 And comes the brilliancy: 4. Bd4!! Collision symbol
4... Bd4 [4... ed4 5. Kd3] 5. Kd3 and now white will play Ke4 to block the pawn or take the bishop when black plays e4.
