Young Blood

So great to see some rumble! We will have a very interesting top field the next couple of years!

A great event! Congrats and respect to all participants.
Well done Alireza!
Many thanks to Lichess!

(Before the tournament , Magnus beat Assios in a series of ULTRABULLET games! Yes , the World Champion played Ultra!!)

Unfortunately Alireza Firouzja is subject to restrictions that prevent him from qualifying to Candidates Tournament. No Iranian player can make it to the top when the local law requires forfeiting games. These laws also disturb players' inner peace and make them blunder and lose games to much weaker opponents.

He is second last, after USA woman #1.

I hope Carlsen becomes longest reigning world champion. He is equally good chess player and bad politician as Garry Kasparov.

If time control is longer Magnus is invincible.
Congratulations on Alireza., but let's not overestimate Alireza.

@Penguingim1 finally won a game in US Junior Championship! Well done!

thank you!
