FTX Road to Miami: Sevian leads, Ju shines

Sam Sevian grabbed the sole lead on day 2 of the FTX Road to Miami online tournament. The US grandmaster collected a perfect 12/12 score on Monday, with one of his four wins obtained by default as Teimour Radjabov withdrew from the competition after round 5. Day 2 also saw Ju Wenjun collecting three wins to climb to the top half of the standings. The Chinese is the lowest-rated player and the only woman in the field. | Photo: Lennart Ootes / Saint Louis Chess Club
