Numbers in parentheses indicate players' scores prior to the round.

Notes

a Dubov forfeited his match in Round 7 against Anish Giri due to COVID-19 contamination in his inner circle and his refusal to wear a mask.[10][11] He was allowed to play again without a mask after several tests including a PCR returned negative.[12]

b Dubov tested positive for COVID-19 prior to Round 11, hence he was forced to forfeit his games against Rapport, Praggnanandhaa, and Carlsen respectively.[13][14]
