Candidates R6: Nepo and Caruana in a league of their own

Ian Nepomniachtchi and Fabiano Caruana scored full points in round 6 of the Candidates Tournament. Nepo thus kept his sole lead, while Caruana remained in sole second place a half point back. The latter now has a full-point advantage over his closest chasers, as we near the event’s halfway mark. Thursday’s round also saw Teimour Radjabov missing a major chance to beat Richard Rapport. | Photo: FIDE / Steve Bonhage
