Nepomniachtchi’s next opponent will be former world champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway. He beat American Wesley So (2-1) in the consolation tournament.
The IOC declined to comment on the news that Russian journalists were banned from entering France for the 2024 Olympic Games.
It is worth noting that Carlsen and Nepomniachtchi have already met in this tournament. The Norwegian won.
The tournament’s prize pool is $300,000. The competition runs from July 17 to 24.
