Fabiano Caruana ended Alireza Firouzja’s winning run in a last second scramble of a marathon 77-move game as Alpine SG Pipers stunned table-toppers Triveni Continental Kings 12-8 at the Global Chess League on Friday.

Playing with white pieces, Anish Giri’s win over Wei Yi gave the Pipers an early lead before Nino Batsiashvili beat Alexandra Kosteniuk to put them in the driver’s seat.
