NEPOMNIACHTCHI WINNING THE MATCH 3-2 STORY: Day four of the Magnus Carlsen Invitational saw Fabiano Caruana and Ian Nepomniachtchi come from behind to claim respective victories against Liren Ding and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave on Tuesday (April 21).
Dubbed the richest ever online chess tournament, with a prize fund of 250,000 U.S. dollars, seven top ranked players join world number one Magnus Carlsen in competing for top honours.
Trailing 2-1 in his round 2 game against Ding, Caruana avoided an "Armageddon" tiebreaker before he clinched a 3-2 victory to move joint-top of the overall standings alongside World Champion Carlsen, who he next faces on Wednesday (April 22).
Similarly, Nepomniachtchi found himself 2-1 down before drawing level and then downing his French opponent.
