Alireza Firouzja is still the sole leader after round 6 of the Sinquefield Cup. Sharing second place are Wesley So and Fabiano Caruana, as the latter joined his compatriot in the chasing pack after beating Ian Nepomniachtchi with black on Sunday. Caruana took advantage of a perplexing mistake by Nepo, who played a game-losing blunder on move 18 out of a Sicilian Dragon. All remaining games finished drawn, though D. Gukesh and especially Anish Giri were close to getting full points. | Photo: Lennart Ootes
