Heartbreaking that Anish Giri wasn't able to beat Wei Yi today to keep at least some pressure on Javokhir Sindarov going into the last two rounds of the candidates tournament. It was never easy, but it was especially unfortunate that he made an accidental threefold repetition in a position where he could have pressed for much longer.

Congratulations to 🇺🇿 Javokhir Sindarov for winning the FIDE World Cup in the tie breaks against 🇨🇳 Wei Yi. There is no way I would have predicted these two being in the final beforehand.
