## Firouzja the Gladiator

I really thought that the ankle injury of Firouzja is going to affect him in a negative way but he is proving that i was wrong.

## Wesley So get a Scare

The american reached a winning position early in the armageddon vs Gukesh but 2 mistakes in a row turned the tables into a difficult position.

And Magnus and Keymer draw the classical where Magnus had a winning position but after trade queens Keymer founds a fortness and in the armageddon magnus wons a quiet game without so much highlights.

Despite this victory Carlsen still being in the last position tied with pragg now.
Firouzja is clearly the solo leader being the only player who is scoring from 3 to 3.

## Crazy Amageddons in Womens Section

The 3 games in the womens section ended in a draw but we had 2 beatyfull games in the armageddon with pieces sacrifices.
