Gukesh and Abdusattorov advance to the Grand Finale
Nodirbek Abdusattorov (UZB) lost to D Gukesh 1-2 in Match #7 on Day 4. Gukesh then beat the 14th World Champion in history, Vladimir Kramnik 2-1. Abdusattorov made his way back to the final as it is a double elimination event. He defeated Karthikeyan Murali 2-0, then Parham Maghsooloo 2-1 and then Kramnik 2-1. In the Final, Abdusattorov defeated Gukesh 1.5-0.5. However, since it was a double elimination event, the rematch of the Finals was won by Gukesh with the same score. Both Gukesh and Abdusattorov have advanced to the Grand Finale which will take place in September this year.
This is Gukesh's first elite event triumph in the faster time controls. He has already proven himself in the Classical format as he is currently the World no.20 (Peak ranking World no.18). Winning this tournament is a huge relief for him as he not only advanced to the Grand Finale but he also got the monkey off his back, of performing brilliantly in a Blitz event.
