Unmitigated disaster for Dubov, lost out of the opening with White against Firouzja. Nevertheless he is part of a six-way tie on 14 coming into the last round, the other four players being Aronian, Artemiev, Duda and MVL, half a point ahead of Carlsen (and only Carlsen).

But MVL wins the third at a canter (as far as I can see) and the title with it.
