SuperUnited Croatia: Carlsen finds stunning move, climbs in the standings

Ian Nepomniachtchi and Fabiano Caruana are tied in first place after nine rounds of rapid chess at the Grand Chess Tour in Zagreb. Former co-leader Vishy Anand failed to keep up with his colleagues, as he was defeated by Dommaraju Gukesh in their first-ever official confrontation. With 18 rounds of blitz to go, the one player standing a single point behind the leaders is Magnus Carlsen, who impressed on Friday by ending the rapid section with two consecutive, remarkable wins. | Photo: Lennart Ootes
