Skilling Open 2: Karjakin beats Carlsen

  • Posted by Chess Rising Stars Academy

  • Date 24th November 2020

Anish Giri drew all 5 games on Day 2 of the Skilling Open, but that was enough to retain the sole lead after Sergey Karjakin took down Magnus Carlsen in the final round of the day. Of the 8 highest classically rated players only Levon Aronian would currently miss out on the knockout stage, with his replacement a certain Hikaru Nakamura. Hikaru fell to a tactical blow from Liem Quang Le in the first game of the day but beat Ian Nepomniachtchi in the last, after karma came back to bite Nepo for three 14-move draws in a row with the white pieces.

The action starts each day at 17:45 CET (11:45 ET) and you can follow it all live here on chess24 with multiple commentary streams in different languages.
