2022 meltwater champions

San Francisco, Nov 16, Norwegian world champion Magnus Carlsen and Jan-Krzysztof Duda, the two front-runners in the 2022 Meltwater Champions Chess Tour, sped ahead again in the final event after both won their second round matches.

Newly-crowned Tour champion Carlsen finished for the day early in San Francisco, beating the Indian teen Arjun Erigaisi in three games. It was not a smooth ride, however, as the Norwegian struggled at times, but he now has two match wins in a row and the maximum six points.
