Fischer Random 3: Wesley So knocked out

Defending Champion Wesley So blundered mate-in-3 against Icelandic no. 1 Hjorvar Gretarsson on the final day of the group stages of the Fischer Random World Championship, effectively ending his slim hopes of retaining his title. Elsewhere the favourites made it through and it’s going to be Carlsen-Nepomniachtchi and Nakamura-Abdusattorov in Saturday’s semi-finals.
