Descrição

Richard Rapport has a 96% chance of playing in the FIDE Candidates Tournament after defeating Dmitry Andreikin in the second game of the final to win the Belgrade FIDE Grand Prix. The Hungarian no. 1 described his decision to play on with two minutes on his clock rather than take a draw as taking destiny into his own hands and a “leap of faith”. It was richly rewarded, as Dmitry Andreikin, who commented, “I can only applaud him”, went astray in complications that neither player could fully fathom.
