For those willing to tolerate Google's translation of this report, you'll find plenty of information here. I'll just offer a few summary comments in retrospect on the 2019 Du Te Cup that took place in Shenzhen, China.
When we left off at the halfway point, Pentala Harikrishna had bounced back from a second-round loss to Anish Giri to win three in a row, taking a half point lead over Giri with 3.5/5. He started the next cycle with a win over Dmitry Jakovenko, but Giri won what had to be a drawn ending against Yu Yangyi, grinding out the victory in a 2012 move marathon.
Harikrishna's winning streak was snapped in his rematch with Giri, but since the game was drawn he kept his half-point lead. In round 8, however, he was upended, losing to Richard Rapport. This was Rapport's only win in the entire tournament, and it allowed Giri to catch up after drawing with pre-tournament favorite Ding Liren. Giri and Harikrishna lead with +2 scores, while Ding and Rapport were on 50%.
In round 9, Harikrishna bounced back again, defeating Yu Yangyi, while Giri drew with Rapport and Ding drew with Yakovenko. Harikrishna thus entered the last round with a half point lead over Giri; however, Giri had White against Jakovenko, while Harikrishna would have Black against Ding. White won in both games - long ones - and so Giri came out half a point ahead. It took him 97 moves to win his game, while Ding's victory (getting revenge for Harikrishna's win in the first cycle) went 72 moves. (Everyone was fighting--even the draw between Yu and Rapport went 75 moves.)
It wasn't a wonderful tournament for Ding, though it wasn't a disaster for him either, but it was a terrific outing for both Harikrishna and Giri. Harikrishna's TPR was more than 100 points over his rating, and his winning five games out of ten against a super-GM field in which he was the next-to-last seed was a fantastic achievement.
As for Giri, this was his first outright super-tournament victory, even if it was relatively weak by super-tournament standards. (Magnus Carlsen, asked by an interviewer about this tournament with a round to go, light-heartedly said he was rooting for Harikrishna to win, to keep Giri from winning his first super-GM event. As Carlsen said, "I'm nothing if not petty." Again, this was meant in a light-hearted spirit, as Giri and Carlsen have been engaging in trash talk and Twitter wars for years.)
