The quarterfinals are finished, now that Wesley So and Fabiano Caruana have just completed their match. It was a drubbing, with So winning 17.5-9.5; he will now take on Nihal Sarin in one semi-final, and Hikaru Nakamura will face Ding Liren in the other. One semi will take place on December 13, the other on December 16.
The sideshow is over for now; back to the World Championship tomorrow.
