Arjun loses his third game out of five
It is not everyday that Arjun loses more games than he won. Clearly something is going wrong. Only two games left at this event. He needs to figure out and fix things quickly to avoid a disaster.
Jorden - Arjun: 1-0
Arjun Erigaisi (2701) has never beaten Jorden van Foreest (NED, 2689) in a classical rated game. Earlier this year, Jorden won against him at 85th Tata Steel Masters. Their previous year encounter at this event ended in a draw. The double rook endgame seemed to be heading towards a draw until Arjun blundered.
47...Kg7 would have kept everything in control. 47...Kg8?? 48.e6+- Rxe6 49.Rexe6 fxe6 50.Rxf8+ Kxf8 51.Kxg4 and Black resigned as the pawn ending is winning for White.
