Madrid Candidates 11: Nepo refutes Firouzja's Bullet Gambit

Ian Nepomniachtchi crushed Alireza Firouzja in Round 11 of the FIDE Candidates Tournament, but just when it looked as though that would extend his lead to 2 points with just 3 rounds to go, Ding Liren won a position he'd been struggling to save against Fabiano Caruana. The Chinese no. 1's 3rd win in a row leaves him 1.5 points behind the leader.
