Thanks, I missed that. Hang on, hasn't Kramnik just won six games in a row?

He must be doing well, actually beat (and drew with) Karjakin! And it seems Nepo's poor recent form is continuing.

Won by the former, who then saw off Tomashevsky in the final.

Vladimir Kramnik dominated the preliminary stages. Semifinal matches: Kramnik 1-2 Grischuk and Svidler 0.5-1.5 Tomashevsky. Alexander Grischuk won the final which was best of four by winning all three games contested.
