Round four of the 2014 Sinquefield Cup produced slightly more solid play from four players, but it was just another day at the office for GM Fabiano Caruana.
By notching the day's only win, he moved to 4-0, increased his lead to two full points, and achieved the fourth-highest rating of all time. That's a full day.
His win today over GM Levon Aronian means he's leaving the former world number two in his distant wake -- Caruana is now 23 points clear of the Armenian number one, who slipped below 2800 today.
