Last round started early, as is not unusual. Looks like Vlad has "hara-kiri"ed against Shak rather impressively :?

Probably wore himself out in his futile attempt to win yesterday after losing his extra pawn. Maybe he forgot about the early start in the morning.

Giri is still trying to squeeze an extra half point to get a playoff with Nepo.

Is this Nepos first win in a "super" tournament?

Puts him joint 10th with Giri on the live ratings list too
