It’s Keymer-Pragg & Liang-Yoo in the Semis!
Vincent Keymer will take on his key rival Praggnanandhaa in the Julius Baer Challengers Chess Tour semi-finals after coming from behind to defeat Leon Mendonca 3.5:2.5 in a blitz playoff. The other semi-final on Saturday will be an all-American clash between Awonder Liang and Christopher Yoo, after Awonder emerged the 3:1 winner of a topsy-turvy battle against Nodirbek Abdusattorov.
