Conclusion of the 2021 3+ WC

Hey everyone! Sorry for the late announcement, this week has been a bit busy for us.
On January 10th, VariantsOnly successfully defended his title as 3+ World Champion against challenger GM MiroMiljkovic! We’ve put together a few puzzles from the event, which you can try out here: lichess.org/study/jZhh2rVR

The match was kindly streamed by Chess_Poems and Whitedancingrockstar, who streamed together under Chess_Poems’ twitch account. The stream can be re-watched here, complete with analysis! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QsM32iwIkk
Thank you to both Chess_Poems and Whitedancingrockstar for the great cohosted final stream and for the many other matches they have covered individually!

VariantsOnly, you should get your trophy soon, courtesy of the ever-great ProgramFox (who we also thank for taking care of registrations for us!)

Thank you all for participating and making the tournament as fun as it was! See you in late 2022!

Update:

Twitch VOD is officially gone after a few weeks (thanks twitch bandwidth). So this is officially it!

Can't believe the YT video has seen 325+ views, 20+ hours of watch time, 7 likes, etc. just 10 days after uploading.

Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoyed and maybe took a thing or two away.

Check it out if you haven't yet! & leave a comment with who you'd like to see win next year!

NOTES:

-- Fixed/edited the timestamp

-- Added link to the puzzle pack (will eventually add a study link with all the games)

-- All interactions, watch time, etc help with their algorithm! Help keep this moving in their algorithm after the initial spike of interest ツ
