Madrid Candidates 8: Nakamura shocks Caruana

Hikaru Nakamura took revenge on Fabiano Caruana in an epic Round 8 FIDE Candidates Tournament game to move within just half a point of his US rival. That meant that Ian Nepomniachtchi’s quick draw against Ding Liren extended his lead to a full point, but Fabi has a chance to catch Nepo in Round 9 if he can win their individual clash. Elsewhere Richard Rapport picked up a 1st win with a sudden attack against Jan-Krzysztof Duda, while Firouzja-Radjabov was drawn in 7 hours and 93 moves.
