The leader is the Russian Jan Nepomniachtchi. Sergey Smagin, vice-president of the Moscow Chess Federation, spoke about it.
– It’s too early to estimate Jan’s chances of winning the Candidates Tournament, but he created all the prerequisites for it. If nothing out of the ordinary happens, he will finish the first lap in the lead, and that’s a great launch pad to attack from top position, TASS said citing Smagin.
