Missed Opportunities in Madrid

When Caïssa offers a gift, one must accept it. For the goddess is often vengeful towards those who fail to take advantage of her largesse. The fifth round of the 2022 FIDE Candidates saw two players — GMs Hikaru Nakamura and Ding Liren — failing to capitalize on significant advantages. With missed chances beginning to pile up, and with 16 of 20 games drawn thus far, one wonders who has caused Caïssa to turn her face from them, and who may yet claim her favor.
