Hikaru Nakamura and Richard Rapport are in the Candidates Tournament after Hikaru's win over Andrey Esipenko ensured that the two would finish 1st and 2nd in the FIDE Grand Prix. All the results went Hikaru's way, as his key rivals Levon Aronian, Anish Giri and Leinier Dominguez all lost, while Maxime Vachier-Lagrave was held to a draw by Sam Shankland. Amin Tabatabaei is the surprise player already confirmed alongside Hikaru in the Berlin semi-finals, while So-Shankland and Mamedyarov-Keymer will play tiebreaks on Tuesday.
