Abdusattorov and Giri draw in the battle of the leaders
The games of the Round 11 of the Tata Steel Masters in the Netherlands have ended.
A win for second-placed Anish Giri against Nodirbek Abdusattorov would have allowed him to replace the leader at the top of the standings but after mixing up his lines he didn't get anything and the game was drawn in 29 moves. Thus, the leader in the competition Nodirbek Abdusattorov has 7.5 points and Anish Giri has 7 points. In professional chess championships, they met three times, and each time there was a draw. Now, this is the fourth draw.

Regardless of the outcome of the meeting between Magnus Carlsen and Wesley So, Abdusattorov will retain leadership. In Round 12 he will play black against Wesley So.
