Madrid Candidates 7: Nepo & Caruana win again

Ian Nepomniachtchi ended the first half of the 2022 FIDE Candidates Tournament on a phenomenal +4 score after Richard Rapport rejected a draw and crashed to defeat in what Fabiano Caruana described as “one of the most shocking games I’ve seen from a top player in a long time”. Fabi is still just half a point behind after winning a pawn early on and then navigating complications to beat Teimour Radjabov, while 3rd placed Hikaru Nakaura trails Fabi by 1.5 points before their Round 8 clash.
