Anish Giri hung on to his lead of the Skilling Open Preliminary section after a second day of three days play. The Skilling Open is the first event in the Champions Chess Tour which will take place online for much of the next year.
Giri drew all of his games including against Magnus Carlsen and Wesley So and finished the day with a score of 6.5/10. Carlsen also had a solid day for the most part winning against Jan-Krzysztof Duda and drawing three before suffering his second loss of the event - this time with black against Sergey Karjakin. Carlsen has a scored of 6/10 and shares second place with So and Ding Liren.
The event is very closely contested with 1 point separating the top 7 and more importantly 14th place is still within a point of a qualification spot. The top 8 of 16 go through to the final knockout stages and also qualify to play in the next event of the tour.
The third and final day of this qualification section starts at 5pm GMT on Tuesday 24th Nov.
Round 10 Standings: 1st Giri 6.5pts 2nd-4th Ding, Carlsen, So 6pts 5th-7th Nakamura, MVL, Nepomniachtchi 5.5pts 8th-10th Radjabov, Anton, Firouzja 5pts 11th-13th Le, Aronian, Karjakin 4.5pts 14th Svidler 4pts 15th Vidit, 3.5pts 16th Duda 3pts.
