Wesley So won the third leg of the Great Prix in Berlin by outflanking Hikaru Nakamura with a score of 112:12 in the sudden death round. At the awards ceremony, the competition winner and second place finisher both smiled as they praised the competition&#8217;s conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the consequences of the previous encounter, Hikaru Nakamura qualified for the FIDE Competitors Competition 2022 and won the FIDE Fabulous Prix Series 2022 overall. Wesley So took third place in the Series, while Richard Compatibility, who is second in the general standings, punched his pass to the Up-and-comers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wesley So remarked after the game, &#8220;I&#8217;m only 28, and I&#8217;m certain that in a year or two or three years, I&#8217;ll be able to play in the Applicants.&#8221; I was really unprepared the previous time I participated and finished second to endurance, so I think presuming you qualify, you must be prepared to compete for the lead position.&#8221;<br>&#8220;The chances [of winning the entire series] were approximately 10-15 percent before to things starting,&#8221; Hikaru Nakamura said. In the main leg, I had guys who hadn&#8217;t played a lot and weren&#8217;t particularly sharp.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hikaru chose the Diocesan opening in the main sudden death round game, which Wesley So didn&#8217;t expect to see on the board today. However, Wesley went head-to-head with Dark and gained a significant positional advantage by move 15. Hikaru demonstrated his exceptional caution, and after two or three blunders by his opponent, he worked out how to launch an exceedingly dangerous assault on the kingside. It was Wesley&#8217;s chance to figure out the key movements in order to stay in the game. The opponents divide a point in a drawish rook ending after a few assessment swings in this confusing upside down game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Berlin Protection in Ruy Lopez was used in the following game. White discovered out how to acquire a delightful edge, but until a certain point, the situation looked to be highly adjusted. Wesley exchanged the sovereigns for more pawns on the d-document, but he created some drive in the centre. Hikaru made a terrible mistake on move 32\u2026 c6 and ended himself in a bad position following a fundamental nullification 33.Bxe5. Wesley ascended a little higher and then gradually shifted his advantage to control the match and the contest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On April 4th, the last match of the
