At the 2023 FIDE World Cup, top-seed Magnus Carlsen won his first game of the semi-final tie against Abasov Nijat to establish 1-0 lead. If Carlsen manages to avoid defeat in Sunday’s game, he will qualify for the championship match.

Meanwhile, Fabiano Caruana was held to a draw by Indian prodigy Praggnanandhaa in the other semi-final.
Meanwhile, first game of the women’s tournament final featuring Aleksandra Goryachkina vs. Nurgyul Salimova ended as a tie after both players demonstrated a desire to trade down towards a neutral endgame. On Sunday, the second game of the final will be played and if it finishes as a draw, the champion will be decided through tiebreaks, which is scheduled for Monday. In the third-place Play-off, GM Anna Muzychuk defeated GM Tan Zhongyi in an opposite-colored bishop ending.
