Read more...Anish Giri won the Tata Steel Masters for the first time in the best result of the Dutchman's career.Giri started the round half a point behind Abdusattorov and afterwards was grateful to his countrymanJorden Van Foreest for going for a fighting game against the leader. Giri found a way to causehis opponent Richard Rapport problems, may have missed a chance but then his opponent played34...Kg6 which turned out to be very bad indeed and he soon brought home the full point.Abdusattorov by this time was completely lost and he couldn't find any way to resist. MagnusCarlsen caught Abdusattorov but finished third on tie-break. Giri's consistency in this eventhas been remarkable and was in the right place to take his chance this time.Carlsen, who would know, said he was sorry for Abdusattorov as leading such events carriesuniquely tough pressures, but he has certainly enhanced his reputation.This has been a fantastic event with the pace only slackening towards the end for thoseout of contention. Should be a great year.Masters Final Round 13 Sunday 29th January 11am GMT:Praggnanandhaa draw So,Erigaisi 0-1 Carlsen,Aronian 0-1 Maghsoodloo,Keymer draw Gukesh,Ding Liren draw Caruana,Giri 1-0 Rapport,Abdusattorov 0-1 Van Foreest.Masters Official Round 13 Standings:1st Giri 8.5pts,2nd Abdusattorov 8pts,3rd Carlsen[…]

There was no change at the top of the standings with wins for RichardRapport over Ding Liren and Parham Maghsoodloo over Arjun Erigaisi having no impact onwho will win the event. Abdusattorov had few problems holding a draw with black againstWesley So today, this wasn't the case for Anish Giri who was lost at one stage againstJorden Van Foreest who came armed with a fabulous opening idea but kept himself in with a chance byeventually holding the draw in the final game to finish. Magnus Carlsen wasvery disappointed not to get himself into the mix with a win over R Praggnanandhaa butafter getting very good chances he started making mistakes himself.Read FM Michiel Abeln's on the spot report below.In the Challengers Alexander Donchenko was gifted a very quick win by Thomas Beerdsenand that result combined with Mustafa Yilmaz's draw means he will win the event even with a lossin the final round as he beat his closest rival in their individual game which is the firsttie-break. The result should mean that we see Donchenko in the Masters next year.Masters Round 12 Standings:1st[…]
