Keymer alene i teten i Grenke Chess Freestyle Open

Tyske stormester Vincent Keymer tok ledelsen alene i Grenke Chess Freestyle Open etter å ha slått Hans Niemann og spilt remis mot Magnus Carlsen i løpet av helgen. Alexey Sarana, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave og Pranav Venkatesh ligger et halvpoeng bak med to runder igjen. Åttende og niende runde spilles mandag i Karlsruhe.

Vincent Keymer utnyttet en taktisk feil fra Hans Niemann i sjette runde og sikret seier fra en symmetrisk startposisjon. Keymer forklarte forglemmelsen med at Niemanns dronningplassering på d3 sannsynligvis distraherte ham fra sjakk med springeren. Flere toppoppgjør endte remis, deriblant Carlsen mot Sarana og Nepomniachtchi mot Vachier-Lagrave, som følge av den balanserte utgangsstillingen med motstående løpere.
