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:
"It was complicated but I felt like my moves were always easier. He was clearly quite uncomfortable - he was burning time and probably not finding the best defence."
