Congratulations to Fabiano Caruana, who rebounded from a very poor start in the Grand Chess Tour to sneak into the grand finale in London later this year. He played well in the St. Louis Rapid & Blitz and then tied for first in the Sinquefield to catch Wesley So, the early leader of the Grand Chess Tour, in a tie for the fourth and final spot in London. They played a rapid tiebreaker today, and Caruana won in the professional way, drawing with Black and then grinding out a win with White. (Games here, with my notes.) He'll join top seed Hikaru Nakamura, who will be his semi-final opponent, Levon Aronian, and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (who will face off in the second semi).
