FIDE Candidates 2024: Follow for all the highlights from the FIDE Chess Candidates 2024 Round 7 action which happened in Toronto, Canada on Friday.
D. Gukesh vs Alireza Firouzja board:
R. Praggnanandhaa vs Fabiano Caruana board:
Vidit Gujrathi vs Nijat Abasov board:
April 12, 2024 04:44
Vidit vs Abasov
And we have the final result of the day. Vidit and Abasov settle for a draw.
April 12, 2024 04:34
Vidit vs Abasov

April 12, 2024 04:17
Pragg vs Caruana
Praggnanandhaa and Caruana decides that it is enough. It is a draw. 1/2 a point for both.
April 12, 2024 04:11
Gukesh vs Firouzja
And the queens are off the table. Seems like we are heading into the endgame. Firouzja looks to have clawed his way back into the game with some smart moves. And now Gukesh fails to get his 40th move inside the required time. Firouzja gets the win.
April 12, 2024 04:02
Vidit vs Abasov
Vidit vs Abasov encounter gets over the 40-move mark and hence 30 more minutes have been added to the clock for both players.
April 12, 2024 03:52
Vaishali vs Tingjie
Tingjie keeps making the right move after right move and finally Vaishali folds. Another disappointing defeat for the Indian contender.
April 12, 2024 03:50
Zhongyi vs Goryachkina
Tan Zhongyi and Aleksandra Goryachkina settle for a draw. That means Zhongyi continues her stay atop the women’s standings, while Goryachkina is still second.
April 12, 2024 03:48
Vidit vs Abasov
Vidit goes Rook to d6 as he looks to put pressure on Abasov’s kingside. But that move causes the eval bar to go for a toss. Stockfish points out that Vidit’s advantage dropped from -1.67 to 0.00
April 12, 2024 03:44
Pragg vs Caruana
No signs of easing off in the Praggnanandhaa vs Caruana contest. The Indian doubles down on Caruana’s c2 rook with his own rook.
April 12, 2024 03:39
Gukesh vs Alireza
Suddenly so much happening in all the boards at the same time. Firouzja’s rook to a1 puts Gukesh in a favourable position.
April 12, 2024 03:33
Vaishali vs Tingjie
Vaishali’s queen-b8 move instantly messes up her position against Lei Tingjie. Looks very tough to save this position.
April 12, 2024 03:29
Humpy draws vs Muzychuk
The search for a first win for Humpy continues as she draws her game with Anna Muzychuk with mutual agreement on the 40th move.
April 12, 2024 03:20
Vidit vs Abasov
VIdit finally gets some reprieve. Abasov makes an inaccuracy and the engine favours Vidit by +1.50.
Screenshot 2024-04-12 031852.png
April 12, 2024 03:18
Humpy vs Muzychuk
Humpy trades queens and now it’s definitely heading to a clear draw against Anna Muzychuk.
April 12, 2024 03:17
Gukesh vs Firouzja
Gukesh is not able to play fast. His 30 minutes time advantage has fizzled out and the Frenchman is continuously putting pressure with accurate moves.
April 12, 2024 03:07
Vaishali vs Tingjie
The tables have turned in the Vaishali and Lei Tingjie game. It is the Indian who is in down on the clock now.
April 12, 2024 03:03
Nepo holds Hikaru
Ian Nepomniachtchi holds Hikaru Nakamura to a draw after playing a brilliancy. He continues to hold his lead on the leaderboard.
April 12, 2024 03:02
Hikaru vs Nepo
Wow! Ian Nepomniachtchi has sacked his bishop and looks like he will be able to hold Hikaru with perpetual checks.
Screenshot 2024-04-12 030042.png
April 12, 2024 02:56
Hikaru vs Nepo
Hikaru has lost all of his advantage against Nepomniachtchi after playing a4.
April 12, 2024 02:51
Humpy vs Muzychuk
The game between Humpy and Muzychuk has simplified with one set of rooks being changed. Queen and one set of rooks are left on the board as the game seems to be heading towards a draw.
April 12, 2024 02:46
Pragg vs Caruana
Caruana’s rook to b1 gives Pragg a slight advantage in the position and his edge over white has increased to +0.57 from +0.19.
Screenshot 2024-04-12 024353.png
April 12, 2024 02:33
Pragg vs Caruana
Praggnanandhaa advances his a-file pawn, looking to open his extreme file. Caruana takes the pawn and the Indian takes it back instantly.
Screenshot 2024-04-12 023140.png
April 12, 2024 02:29
Vidit vs Abasov
We’re just 20 moves into the Vidit vs Abasov game and the Indian has already used his 75 per cent of the time. Difficult times ahead for Vidit.
Screenshot 2024-04-12 022557.png
April 12, 2024 02:07
Zhongyi vs Goryachkina
The clash of leaders of the Women’s Candidates between first-place Tan Zhongyi and second-place Aleksandra Goryachkina is heavily skewed in favour of the Chinese. She has more than 35 extra minutes on the clock.
April 12, 2024 01:53
Vidit vs Abasov
Vidit needs to be a bit careful now. He is consuming a lot of his time on each move.
April 12, 2024 01:50
Hikaru vs Nepo
Hikaru is slowly building up on his edge. The engine now favours him by + 0.69
April 12, 2024 01:26
Hikaru vs Nepo
Hikaru has a 50-minute time advantage over Ian Nepomniachtchi. The American is an exchange up and holds a slight edge in this position. Can he beat unstoppable Nepo in this round to open the race?
April 12, 2024 01:16
Vidit vs Abasov
Vidit castles on the short side after thinking for 13 minutes He is already 30 minutes down against Abasov.
April 12, 2024 01:07
Vaishali vs Tingjie
Heathy time advantage for Vaishali who has over 1 hour and 23 minutes on the clock while her Chinese opponent Tingjie is under an hour now.
April 12, 2024 00:59
Hikaru vs Nepo
Nepo goes for the rook exchange. Although Hikaru is an exchange up and has taken one extra rook from his opponent but the engines believe it to be an equal position.
See AlsoOne, Two, Three (Version 2)April 12, 2024 00:51
Vidit vs Abasov
Vidit trades his dark bishop but Abasov has double pawns in the e-file.
April 12, 2024 00:49
Hikaru vs Nepo
Hikaru forces Nepomniachtchi to think deeply in a complex position. The question here is whether the Russian will exchange the rooks on the e-file or not.
April 12, 2024 00:45
Vaishali vs Tingjie
Playing with white pieces, Lei Tingjie is taking her time against Vaishali. She has spent nearly 20 minutes on her last three moves.
April 12, 2024 00:42
Pragg vs Caruana
Caruana trades his knight for Pragg’s light-squared bishop as the position continues to be stable after the first 14 moves.
April 12, 2024 00:33
Hikaru vs Nepo
Hikaru chops off Nepomniachtchi’s rook in the 16th move in Petrov’s Defense game and we could see an exciting game here with material imbalance right from the start.
April 12, 2024 00:30
Humpy vs Muzhychuk
Muzychuk offers a dark-squared bishop exchange and Humpy instantly accepts it in the Morphy Defense of Ruy Lopez game.
April 12, 2024 00:23
Indian defense in Gukesh vs Firouzja
Ruy Lopez in the Vidit vs Abasov game is being played, while it’s an Indian defense game in the Gukesh vs Firouzja board.
April 12, 2024 00:21
Pragg vs Caruana
We’re off to an exciting start in the open category. Praggnanandhaa plays an advanced version of the French Defense against Fabiano Caruana, who has the white pieces.
April 11, 2024 23:59
