Following the conclusion of Round 6, the tournament has been completely reshaped by a dramatic, unexpected turn of events off the board. 🚨 The Big Headline: Alireza Firouzja Withdraws The tournament suffered a heartbreaking blow when Alireza Firouzja officially withdrew from the event due to a severe ankle injury. Firouzja’s exit came after some incredible, gritty drama: in Round 5, he actually played his classical game against Javokhir Sindarov from a bed in a specially arranged hotel room because he was unable to sit at the board.
