Nodirbek Abdusattorov led the 2023 Tata Steel Masters after every single round before the last, where he took a half-point lead into a game with White against the lowest-rated player. There was every chance he would wrap up victory with minimal fuss, but instead, we got a thriller. When the dust had settled, Anish Giri had won the trophy without the need for a playoff.
