July 19, 2025

Grandmaster Arjun Erigaisi stormed into the semifinals of the Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour with a win over Uzbekistan's Nodirbek Abdusattorov, but R Praggnanandhaa bowed out of the title race after losing to USA's Fabiano Caruana at the USD 7,50,000 event.

Erigaisi defeated Abdusattorov 1.5-0.5 while Praggnanandhaa lost 3-4 against Caruana.

In the only match of the Upper Bracket that didn't go to tiebreaks, Erigaisi went through to the semifinals by winning the second 30+30 game. He was close to winning in the first as well, but Abdusattorov showed fantastic defense and just held on.

In the second game he couldn't repeat that feat in a position an exchange down, which he had sacrificed early in the opening.
