Candidates Round 8: Caruana impresses, wins marathon

Fabiano Caruana defeated former co-leader Maxime Vachier-Lagrave in round 8 of the Candidates Tournament, once the event resumed a year after having been postponed due to the sanitary crisis. Caruana played a sharp novelty out of a Najdorf Sicilian and eventually got a slightly superior endgame, which he turned into a remarkable victory. In the other decisive game of the day Kirill Alekseenko defeated Alexander Grischuk. Ian Nepomniachtchi is now the sole leader of the event. | Photo: Lennart Ootes
