RE: Fide Candidates Tournament - Sindarov Upsets Caruana for Sole Lead

Interesting so far
Before Candidates I thought Fabiano was maybe closest to winning with Hikaru being there as well
But Sindarov is in form for sure - this win was strong message to the rest (you can say he had white pieces but its a win)
For now him and Fabiano are doing good. Anish is in good position as well - you cant sleep on him.
Bluebaum does not have any loss yet. Prag is close.
10 more rounds of good chees with most probably some surprises. Everybody is in striking distance. Hikaru and rest can pick it up in the upcoming rounds.
Todays round seems important and it may change momentum for some players.

I'm surprised by Sindarov's strength. He outprepared Fabi, one of the best opening theoreticians. Hikaru is not in form, he hasn't played many classical tournaments last year and even lost his training match against Awonder Liang. Anish is solid but I doubt anybody would consider him a contender. Bluebaum hasn't lost yet but hasn't won any either. Pragg, maybe can catch up and we'll see and all Indian championship.
Yep
Another win for Sindarov today
Fabi follows as well
