FTX Crypto Cup: Firouzja in the hunt as Duda beats Carlsen

With two rounds to go, Magnus Carlsen is in the sole lead at the FTX Crypto Cup in Miami. Carlsen lost his match against Jan-Krzysztof Duda in blitz tiebreaks —gaining 1 point in the standings— while former co-leader Praggnanandhaa was defeated by Le Quang Liem in the rapid section of their match. What had become a two-horse race for first place has now three players fighting for tournament victory, as Alireza Firouzja won a fourth match in a row and now stands two points behind the leader. | Pictured: Jan-Krzysztof Duda at the opening ceremony
