Dubov went wrong and Vidit was rewarded for his brilliant defense with a full point and the sole lead in the tournament.
"I thought that I was pretty lost, that's what my feeling was, but now when I checked the game with a weak engine it says I played all the best moves so I'm very happy about that," said Vidit. "If all these moves were good, then I would definitely say it's one of my most memorable games. But if they're not good, then I'll pick something else!"
