In St. Louis, the Sinquefield Cup continues. Not only is there prize money, but ratings will be changing with wins, draws and losses. There is another spot in the Candidates to be decided and it will be given to the player with the highest rating on 1 January. Several players are withing a couple points of each other right now. Stakes are high. Today the action continues. Yesterday was a rest day (as is only proper, though I think it wasn’t intentional). After Round 5 my guy Wesley So was on top of the standings. Because Jan Krzysztof Duda pulled out of the tournament due to health, there is an uneven number of players, which means that today Nepo has a bye.
