Nodirbek Abdusattorov defeated Anish Giri in the seventh round of the Tata Steel Masters to catch the Dutchman in the lead on 4.5 points. Giri was comfortable out of the opening but just one slightly poor move 22...b5?! led to a world of trouble and an eventual loss. Gukesh also caught Giri after a slightly fortunate win against Max Warmerdam following a very late blunder by the Dutchman in a drawn rook and pawn endgame. Vidit was the beneficiary of a single very bad move from Alireza Firouzja in a known position and went on to win in 42 moves. The remaining games were drawn Parham Maghsoodloo against Ian Nepomniachtchi, Praggnanandhaa against Jorden Van Foreest, Alexander Donchenko against Ju Wenjun and the first game to finish by far Wei Yi against Ding Liren. Round 7 Standings: 1st-3rd Abdusattorov, Gukesh, Giri 4.5pts, 4th-6th Praggnanandhaa, Vidit, Firouzja 4pts, 7th-10th Wei Yi, Ding, Warmerdam, Nepomniachtchi 3.5pts, 11th Ju Wenjun 3pts, 12th Van Foreest 2.5pts, 13th= Maghsoodloo, Donchenko 2pts. Round 8 pairings Sunday 21st Jan 1pm: Firouzja-Ding Liren, Giri-Wei Yi, Nepomniachtchi-Abdusattorov, Van Foreest-Maghsoodloo, Warmerdam-Praggnanandhaa, Ju Wenjun-Gukesh, Vidit-Donchenko.
