The most anticipated match of the day was between Vladimir Kramnik and Daniil Dubov. Although Kramnik retired from professional chess in 2019, he still delivered an exciting game, with Dubov drawing first blood with a knight check, causing Kramnik to lose his bishop and the game. However, Kramnik made a comeback in the second game, outmaneuvering Dubov in a quiet Italian game, leading to the Armageddon game where both sides were down to one. Ultimately, Dubov lost on time, and Kramnik emerged as the winner.
