Nodirbek Yakubboev vinner sin første Freestyle Friday ubeseiret

Stormester Nodirbek Yakubboev sikret sin første Freestyle Friday-tittel den 24. april etter å ha fullført turneringen ubeseiret med 10 av 11 poeng. Seieren løftet ham til en fjerdeplass på sammenlagtlisten i mesterskapet. Pranav Venkatesh tok andreplassen og klatret til topps på ledertavlen.

GM Nodirbek Yakubboev dominerte Chess.coms ukentlige Freestyle Friday-turnering for tittelholdere, som startet kl. 11:00 Eastern Time. Etter fire runder delte han ledelsen med GM-ene Hans Niemann og Jeffery Xiong med 4/4 poeng. I femte runde spilte Yakubboev remis mot Pranav Venkatesh i et intenst tårnsluttspill, og beholdt dermed delt ledelse med 5,5/6 sammen med Niemann, som han senere slo indirekte gjennom momentum i sammendraget. Deretter utklasset han GM Alexander Grisjtsjuk i sjuende runde med det avgjørende trekket 17.d6!, noe som sikret ham alene førsteplassen med 7,5/8 etter å ha slått IM Eray Kilic i åttende runde, slik Chess.coms skribent Nathaniel Green først rapporterte. Yakubboev fortsatte seiersrekken og vant med hvitt mot GM Jose Martinez i niende runde, slik at han nådde 8,5/9. I den nest siste runden spilte han remis mot GM Fabiano Caruana, mens Niemann vant og midlertidig utlignet. Pranav Venkatesh holdt følge ved å vinne sitt bondesluttspill. Den siste runden avgjorde Yakubboevs triumf da han utnyttet GM Zhamsaran Tsydypovs feiltrinn, 33...e5, vant en offiser og hele partiet, noe som ga ham 10/11. Pranav hentet seg inn og endte på andreplass foran Niemann, mens GM Edgar Mamedov tok fjerdeplassen og GM Anna Muzychuk toppet kvinnenes resultatliste. Premiepotten ble fordelt på Yakubboev ($400), Pranav ($250), Niemann ($150), Mamedov ($100) og Muzychuk ($100). Denne seieren nesten doblet Yakubboevs poengsum i sesongmesterskapet, og plasserte ham bak Pranav, Oleksandr Bortnyk og Renato Terry.
