Naka struck back in Game 2 and Carlsen ground him down again in Game 3 so Naka has to win Game 4 to keep the competition going.

Carlsen draws the game from a position where it looked like it was lost so wins the tournament. Grischuk thought the Carlsen-Ding Liren semi-final was the greatest match he had ever seen in terms of excitement and quality.
