The 3rd-round matches of the Candidates Tournament, which is taking place in Cyprus, have also come to an end. Our compatriot Javohir Sindarov, playing with the black pieces, faced the Indian Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa and managed to defeat him.
In the opening time-control phase of the game, both players had a very limited chance to make mistakes. However, taking advantage of the two gross mistakes by the Indian grandmaster, Javohir gained complete control of the board until additional time was added, eventually forcing his opponent to resign before the time ran out.
Through this victory, our compatriot was recognized as the best player of the day. At the same time, Javohir maintained his high performance with the black pieces, and this tradition was further reinforced.
Now, the clash between Fabiano, considered the favorite of the tournament, and Javohir in the 4th round is expected to amaze the spectators. Fans are watching this match with great interest and anticipation.
