FIDE World Cup: Both Semifinals Head To Tiebreaks After Another Day Of Draws
Chinese GM Wei Yi: Both the semifinals in the FIDE World Cup 2025 will head to a tiebreak after GM Nodirbek Yakubboev and GM Javokhir Sindarov played out yet another drab draw, while GM Andrey Esipenko failed to breach the defence of Chinese GM Wei Yi in Panaji on Saturday.
Just like in the first game, Wei Yi once again found himself under time pressure against Esipenko, this time with black pieces. But the Chinese, who is known for his calm demeanour under pressure, pulled himself out of the hole with some precise moves to make the time control.
With very little to play for in terms of a result, Esipenko offered a draw soon after. Though Wei did not take the offer immediately and tried to make inroads with his queen, it was quite clear that no other result was possible, and he decided to sign the peace pact after 37 moves.
