Esipenko 1/2-1/2 Rapport means Magnus can seal tournament victory today with a draw... assuming Dubov doesn't play tomorrow. That's in some doubt as Daniil had a negative PCR test today!

A very stylish final move by Mamedyarov, but the game had already been decided by Vidit's blunder on move 26! https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-tournaments/tata-steel-masters-2022/12/1/3

♟| It did not cost Mamedyarov much effort to refute Vidit's bishop sacrifice on h6. These accidents happen even at top level chess!
