After three intense rounds of the Candidates Tournament held in Cyprus, two competitors have decisively moved ahead, establishing a clear lead. Fabiano Caruana and Javokhir Sindarov both achieved their second victories, propelling them a full point ahead of the challenging field.
Caruana’s win came after he skillfully exploited an uncharacteristic pair of errors from the Chinese grandmaster Wei Yi. Concurrently, Sindarov emerged victorious against Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu following a fiercely contested and double-edged struggle.
