Tata Steel Masters: Gukesh beats Erdogmus, Erigaisi loses to KeymerWorld champion D Gukesh defeated Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus to stay in contention at the Tata Steel Masters, while Arjun Erigaisi lost to Vincent Keymer. World champion D Gukesh fought his way back into contention, delivering an endgame masterclass against young prodigy Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus. Playing with the black pieces, Gukesh secured a clinical victory to take his tally to five points out of a possible 10. The opening did not offer much, and Niemann, caught off guard, chose not to press hard with the white pieces. Matthias Bluebaum of Germany continued his fine form, beating Anish Giri after defeating Gukesh in the previous round.
