2022 Meltwater Champions Chess Tour: Leg 9 – Tour Finals Results Today, Day 7 Schedule, Date, Time, & Last Round Fixtures
In order to win 2022 Tour Finals held at SHACK15 in San Francisco, reigning World Champion Magnus Carlsen easily defeated 17-year-old sensation Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa. Only Jan-Krzysztof Duda, the World Cup champion from Poland, had chance to overtake Carlsen as the tournament leader going into today’s Round 6 games. However, Duda was defeated once more by American great Wesley So and allowed Carlsen to clinch title with one round to spare.
Although the race for second place hasn’t been settled, So now has the greatest odds thanks to his crucial victory over Duda. So dropped to last place after losing his first two games but rose to second after winning four straight. Arjun Erigaisi, who got off to a rough start probably due to the fact that he was playing after midnight, won yet another match. In Round 6, he outperformed Le Quang Liem to win this tie and rise to fourth-place in the standings.
