Superbet Classic 2: Nepo knocks Firouzja out of 2800 club

Ian Nepomniachtchi beat Alireza FIrouzja with the black pieces in Round 2 of the Superbet Chess Classic after an enthralling battle that could have gone either way. That knocked Alireza out of the 2800 club, while Ian both moved up to world no. 5 and joined Wesley So in the lead in Bucharest. The remaining games were drawn, but not without some sharp battles, most notably Mamedyarov-Rapport ,where Shakhriyar struggled to believe he wasn’t winning.
