Magnus Carlsen only scored 1.5 points from 4 games on the second day of the Lindores Abbey Rapid Challenge. Carlsen lost a very sharp battle against Yu Yangyi in Round 5 which was a tremendous struggle where he went astray in time trouble and got himself checkmated. His game in Round 7 was a different story where he had a broken pawn structure straight out of the opening against Jan-Krzysztof Duda and when he went wrong with 16...Qd5? he had a completely disgusting position. With white Carlsen won a sharp struggle against Wei Yi in Round 6 and took a short draw against Wesley So in Round 8. Carlsen ended the day tied for 3rd place with So but this was not what we have come to expect from the World Champion.
Sergey Karjakin and Hikaru Nakamura lead the event with 5.5/8 these two along with Daniil Dubov, top scorers with 2.5/4 today. With the top 8 qualifying it looks like everyone but Wei Yi has a decent chance to claim one of those spots in the final three rounds tomorrow.
Round 8 Standings: 1st-2nd Nakamura, Karjakin 5.5pts 3rd-4th Carlsen, So 4.5pts 5th-8th Aronian, Grischuk, Yu Yangyi, Ding 4pts 9th-10th Duda, Dubov 3.5pts 11th Firouzja 3pts 12th Wei Yi 2pts

Round 10: Grischuk-Firouzja, Carlsen-Dubov, Aronian-Karjakin, Ding-So, Nakamura-Duda, Yu Yangyi-Wei Yi.
