Madrid Candidates 3: Nakamura & Rapport escape

Hikaru Nakamura was caught in deep preparation by Alireza Firouzja in Round 3 of the FIDE Candidates Tournament but escaped after setting a trap for his opponent. Alireza thought for over an hour afterwards on a single move, but it was too late. Ding Liren also missed his chance to hit back after his earlier loss when he found some brilliant moves but then missed a clear win against Richard Rapport. Jan-Krzysztof Duda comfortably equalised with Black against Fabiano Caruana, while Radjabov-Nepo was a quick and uneventful draw.
