Daniil Dubov went from joint lead after 8 rounds of Group A of the Chessable Masters to crashing out of the competition on tie-break after 10 in an exciting finish to the day. The top four of six players qualify for the 8 player mini-match phase which starts on Thursday. Dubov won the previous Lindores Abbey tournament and has already qualified for the tour final. Dubov struggled to get out of the group stages in that event but came strong at the end, here he seemed almost home and dry after 8 rounds and probably took things a little too casually.
The start of the rot was Dubov's crushing loss to Magnus Carlsen in Round 9 where he seemed to be spoiling for a fight, Carlsen admitted afterwards he would probably have been happy with a draw and certain qualification with black. In that same round 9 Hikaru Nakamura survived a lost position against Pentala Harikrishna who was the only player not in the running for qualification. In the final round Dubov played very poorly against Hikaru Nakamura whilst Alexander Grischuk managed to beat Harikrishna. Nakamura, Grischuk and Dubov finished on 5 points but when the results between these three players were added up, Dubov had the least number of points and was eliminated. Carlsen played much better than on day one and edged out Vladislav Artemiev on tie-break to win the group stage which means he will get to choose colours in any tie-break.
Final Standings Group A: Carlsen 6pts, Artemiev 6pts, Nakamura 5pts, Grischuk 5pts, Dubov 5pts, Harikrishna 3 pts.
Tuesday sees the conclusion of the B Group.
