According to Offsideplus. az, the representative clarified the relations with his American rival Wesley So.

Rajabov, who lost to his opponent 1.5: 2.5 yesterday, had to win 4 matches today and then tie-break or Armageddon to qualify for the final.

However, our chess player, who drew in the first two games, lost in the 3rd match, so there was no need for the 4th match. In the end, Rajabov lost 2: 1 and missed the chance to reach the final. He will fight for the 3rd place tomorrow. 

Note that the total prize fund of the tournament is $ 100,000. The winner will receive $ 30,000.
