The World Junior Championship: Tied Again!

By master

And yes, it’s the usual suspects. Once again, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and Sergei Zhigalko are tied for first, both with 9/11. Zhigalko only drew with Andreikin, but Vachier-Lagrave beat Alex Lenderman (darn it!) to catch him. They are a point clear of their nearest rivals, Ivan Popov (who just put an end to Robson’s first-place aspirations) and Avetik Grigoryan, and they are a foursome for the penultimate round: it’s Popov vs. Vachier-Lagrave and Grigoryan vs. Zhigalko.
