Madrid Candidates 4: Nepo storms to Firouzja win

Ian Nepomniachtchi leads Fabiano Caruana by half a point after scoring a crushing win over Alireza Firouzja in Round 4 of the FIDE Candidates Tournament in Madrid. Alireza sprung a surprise in the opening but was punished the moment he forgot or misplayed his home preparation. The remaining games were drawn, with Ding Liren unable to convert an extra pawn against Fabiano Caruana in the clash of the pre-tournament favourites.
