Karjakin through to Chess World Cup semi-finals with comeback win over Shankland
18.08.2021
Russian 10th seed Sergey Karjakin mounted a comeback to progress to the semi-finals of the Chess World Cup following a tiebreaker win over American 31st seed Sam Shankland in Sochi.
Shankland won the opening game two days ago before Karjakin's victory yesterday took the match to a draw.
Astonishingly, four games were played today during the tiebreaker, with none ending in a draw.
