"Caruana drew his game with Hikaru Nakamura and, with 8 points, secured at least a tie for the first place. The game that changed everything was played on board three where Wang Hao of China faced David Howell of England." Our final report on #IOMchess: fide.com/news/170

It’s been an incredible couple of weeks playing the FIDE Grand Swiss tournament. Finished with a 23 point rating gain and the best women’s prize 🏆🥇of 9k USD. Feels good to be back in the World top 10 and looking forward to working even harder and carrying this form in future😄
