Madrid Candidates 1: Nepo and Caruana start fast

Ex-World Championship challengers Ian Nepomniachtchi and Fabiano Caruana got off to a perfect start in a blistering Round 1 of the FIDE Candidates Tournament in Madrid. Nepo overwhelmed top seed Ding Liren, while Fabi punished Hikaru Nakamura for castling into trouble. The remaining games were drawn, but only after huge fights. Jan-Krzysztof Duda was almost winning in 10 moves against Richard Rapport, while Alireza Firouzja lived dangerously against Teimour Radjabov.
