Nepo Wins Candidates with Round to Spare; Nakamura in Clear Second

GM Ian Nepomniachtchi is one of only six players (as noted by @Eyal_P_Sto_) to win two Candidates cycles after Sunday’s draw with GM Richard Rapport in Madrid. The others? Four World Champions — Anand, Karpov, Smyslov, and Spassky — and Viktor Korchnoi, perhaps the greatest player never to wear the crown.  

Congrats to Hikaru Nakamura for qualifying to Candidates 2024 in Toronto by scoring 8/11 in the Grand Swiss and finishing with a live rating of 2788.3! : r/chess
