Firouzja sits at 4 points after a mixed bag—wins over Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, draws with Gukesh and Caruana, but losses to Vladimir Fedoseev and Wesley So in recent outings—highlighting rapid chess volatility under 25+10 time controls. Their head-to-head history features draws and Niemann rapid wins, while high draw rates in elite round-robin events keep all outcomes tightly bunched in this Round 6 clash.
