The FTX Crypto Cup Preliminaries are still wide open going into the final day. Fabiano Caruana moved into a share of the lead on 6.5/10 after scoring 4/5 on day 2. Teimour Radjabov (3.5/5 on day 2) and Hikaru Nakamura (3/5) are also there. Former leader Anish Giri lost in rounds 9 and 10 (2/5) and he shares 4th with Wesley So (all draws). Magnus Carlsen also looked to be heading for an excellent day before losing to Levon Aronian in the final round of the day to finish on 5.5/10 with 3/5 on the day. Shakhriyar Mamedyarov recovered strongly on day two after his poor day 1 with 3.5/5 as did Peter Svidler. With the field so strong not even the leaders are guaranteed progression to the knockout phase and Magnus Carlsen is in real danger of not making it for the first time in these online event, he faces all three joint leaders on the final day. Only the top 8 progress to the final phase.
Round 10 Standings: 1st Caruana 6.5pts, 2nd Radjabov 6.5pts, 3rd Nakamura 6.5pts, 4th Giri 6pts, 5th So 6pts, 6th Svidler 5.5pts, 7th Carlsen 5.5pts, 8th MVL 5.5pts, 9th Ding 5.5pts, 10th Mamedyarov 5pts, 11th Nepomniachtchi 4.5pts, 12th Aronian 4.5pts, 13th Firouzja 4pts, 14th Dubov 4pts, 15th Grischuk 3pts, 16th Pichot 1.5pts.
