In Chess, India’s D. Gukesh stayed on top of the leaderboards after playing out a draw against the joint leader Ian Nepomniachtchi in round ten of the FIDE Candidates 2024 at the Great Hall in Toronto, Canada last night. Meanwhile, Vidit Gujrathi agreed to a draw against compatriot R Praggnanandhaa.

With just four games left in the event, 18-year-old Praggnanandhaa is just half a point behind the tournament leaders. The American duo of Hikaru Nakamura and Fabiano Caruana are also with Praggnanandhaa, which means five people are still in contention to win the open section.
