Calling the game "super important" but also "a total mess," Fabiano Caruana defeated Alireza Firouzja to catch his opponent in first place of the #GrandSwiss2021 alongside David Howell. In the women's section, Lei Tingjie is almost there! Round 9 report:
Mariya Muzychuk beat Elisabeth Paehtz and Zhu Jiner defeated Natalija Pogonina. It means that Lei Tingjie is two points ahead of the field and she needs just one draw in the last two rounds to become the clear winner of the Women's #GrandSwiss2021.
