Players: Magnus Carlsen, Alireza Firouzja, Hikaru Nakamura, Anish Giri, Fabiano Caruana, Wesley So, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, D Gukesh, Nodirbek Abdusattorov and Aryan Tari. The event has had a unique format for a number of years, wins are worth three points, a draw leads to an Armageddon game after which the winner gets 1.5 points and the loser 1 point. Hikaru Nakamura took clear first place after defeating Fabiano Caruana in the final round. World number one Magnus Carlsen was a long way off the pace and finished with one loss and eight draws. He did manage to win all but the final Armageddon tie-break he was involved in.
