Here Fischer is facing Tal in the 1962. Curacao candidates.
Tal was in really bad form in this tournament and he had to quit before it actually ended because of his bad health.
Fischer drew the 2 games with black and won this one with white.

Nepomniachtchi Beats Wojtaszek To Reach FIDE Grand Prix Final

An exciting Russian final at #GrandPrixFIDE: Grischuk vs Nepomniachtchi.

In the longest tiebreak of #GrandPrixFIDE, Ian Nepomniachtchi eliminated Radoslaw Wojtaszek and joined his compatriot Alexander Grischuk in the final.

There are no games on May 26. Two games of the final will be played on May 27-28, followed by tiebreak on May 29 if necessary.

Ian Nepomniachtchi rolled the dice with his risky 26.Bxh6 move against Radosław Wojtaszek.

A win over Anand after 2 draws is like Aqua Vitae for Magnus, who ends the day tied for 1st with Ding Liren on 2/3!
