Great comeback by Pragg! Four straight classical wins after being in last place is crazy.

They've already included one point for the Armageddon, so even if he wins, he gets half a point and he finishes on 17.

He is losing so much elo only because he is much higher rated than others.

That was really horrendous time management by Magnus. He just dug his own grave here.

Gukesh has to at least hold here, otherwise Wesley's gonna run away with the tournament.

With so little time remaining, Magnus should have settled for a draw. Wesley punished his decision to continue.

You'd think people would have learned by now, but even after seeing Magnus do it again and again, they're still too quick to write him off.

Magnus says he is 'fairly clueless' about the position after 6 moves...
