Maxime Vachier-Lagrave didn't convert a couple of promising positions, but still managed to share 1st place The 10th round turned out to be truly dramatic: Maxim Vachier-Lagrave had Ding Liren under pressure most of the time, but at some points it seemed like a draw was inevitable. Nevertheless, the #1 French player won and tied his opponent, Alexander Moiseenko and Bacrot Fressinet for first place.
