GCT Croatia: Ready for Garry

After starting the rapid section of the Croatia GCT with back-to-back wins, Ian Nepomniachtchi never let go of the lead — the Russian goes into the final two days of action a full point ahead of a 4-player chasing pack. In the blitz section, Garry Kasparov will replace Croatian GM Ivan Saric. Saric had a great performance, scoring two wins, six draws and a single loss against his higher-rated colleagues. | Photo: Lennart Ootes
