FIDE World Cup 2023 R5.1: Gukesh beats Hao, now World no.7, Arjun also scores a victory - ChessBase India

GM D Gukesh defeated the China no.4 GM Hao Wang to become the World no.7 in live ratings. The 17-year-old seized his opportunity when the Chinese made an incorrect rook retreat in the endgame. GM Arjun Erigaisi also won his game. He scored the full point against the Sweden no.1 GM Nils Grandelius. Arjun won a balanced rook and knight endgame when his opponent made a slight inaccuracy which was certainly not easy to defend practically. Praggnanandhaa, Vidit and Harika drew their respective games Ferenc Berkes (HUN), Ian Nepomniachtchi and Aleksandra Goryachkina respectively. Vidit had a nice initiative in the middlegame. However, he could not make the most out of the sliver of opportunity.
