Lindores Abbey Rapid Challenge Final Day 1: Nakamura takes the lead

Hikaru Nakamura has one foot in the Grand Final of the
Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour after beating Daniil Dubov 2.5:1.5 on Day 1 of the
Lindores Abbey Rapid Challenge final. Hikaru commented, “I did what Daniil does
against everybody, I played the man more than I played the position” about his
decision to “make the game as flat as possible”. Starved of the exciting
positions he enjoys, Daniil was ground down 2:0 in endings before mounting a
comeback in Game 3. Game 4 looked promising, but Hikaru held on to take the
lead in the best-of-3 match.
