Nakamura overtakes Carlsen as rapid no. 1

Hikaru Nakamura is now back to being the world no. 1 in both rapid and blitz chess after defeating Shakhriyar Mamedyarov 2:0 in tiebreaks to reach the final of the last FIDE Grand Prix and overtake Magnus Carlsen on the rating list. He’ll take on Wesley So, who also scored a 2:0 win over Amin Tabatabaei, but in fact both losing semi-finalists had great chances to clinch victory, with Amin close to winning in both games.
