Superbet Chess Classic: A day of missed chances

After a day of all draws at the Superbet Chess Classic in Bucharest, the standings remain unchanged, with Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Fabiano Caruana and Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu still sharing the lead on 2½/5 points. Despite the lack of decisive games, round five featured tense battles across all boards, with Jan-Krzysztof Duda narrowly missing a chance to claim his first win against Gukesh Dommaraju and Wesley So pressing against Caruana in a sharp Sveshnikov Sicilian. Four rounds remain after Monday’s rest day. | Photo: Lennart Ootes
