Seeing these super GMs run into time trouble in these epic games makes me feel a bit better about losing on time in a 30 minute game.

It’s been an exciting tournament. Nepo is maybe a bit lucky to be in the lead still after barely eking out a draw against Hikaru, who came into their game looking for a fight. Then a huge missed opportunity for Gukesh, who could have taken the lead and had Alireza on the ropes before losing under time pressure. Meanwhile, Fabiano continues to be solid on 4 points, half a point out of 1st. This is still anyone’s tournament.
