Abdusattorov leads the Tata Steel Masters by a point after beating Keymer in Round 7 - 7
Anish Giri beat World Champion Gukesh who was probably still unstable after his shocking Round 6 blunder. Teenager Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus moved into a share of third with an impressive win against Arjun Erigaisi. Thai Dai Van Nguyen drew with Vladimir Fedoseev and Praggnanandhaa drew a wild game with Matthias Bluebaum.
MarcAndria Maurizzi has joined Andy Woodward in the lead with 5.5/7 after his five game winning run came to an end with a draw against third placed Aydin Suleymanli. Looking like these three may be the ones to fight for first although Vasyl Ivanchuk and Faustino Oro lie a further half point back.
My thanks to Michiel Abeln for the photos and short notes to five of the games, I've added extra notes using Stockfish.
