FIDE Grand Prix in turmoil as players forced to pull out

Top seed Ding Liren is out of the Berlin FIDE Grand Prix after failing to get a visa for travel to Berlin, leaving his Candidates Tournament qualification hopes in ruins. He’ll be replaced by Polish star Radoslaw Wojtaszek, while Dmitry Andreikin tested positive and has been replaced by the man who originally just missed out, Andrey Esipenko. Players are still due to arrive in Berlin in the next day or two, so that there are no guarantees those are the final changes.
