London Chess Classic: There is no stopping Abdusattorov!

Nodirbek Abdusattorov secured at least a share of first place at the London Chess Classic by earning his sixth straight win in round seven, defeating Luke McShane in a hard-fought Ruy Lopez. With a two-point lead over Alireza Firouzja and only two rounds remaining, the Uzbek grandmaster is close to securing overall victory. The remaining games were drawn, including an enterprising effort by defending champion Gawain Maroroa Jones against Michael Adams. | Photo: Amruta Mokal (Freestyle Chess Grand Slam)
