Two players have 6/6 match points at the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour Finals 2022. Magnus Carlsen and Jan-Krzysztof Duda both won their first two matches without needing tiebreaks and are now sharing the lead. Anish Giri and Le Quang Liem stand two points back. Duda and Giri will face each other in Wednesday’s third round.
Jan-Krzysztof Duda won the 2022 Aimchess Rapid online tournament after beating Shakhriyar Mamedyarov in what somewhat unexpectedly turned out to be a hard-fought final match. After getting a clear victory in the first set, Duda got a superior position in Friday’s first game. Shakh first managed to turn the tables in that game and then scored 1½ points in the next two encounter to take the match to tiebreaks. Duda won back-to-back blitz games to secure overall victory.
