This is a flash report. The full report will be added soon.
GM Magnus Carlsen claimed his fourth world rapid chess crown on Wednesday and finished with a commanding score of 10/13 in the 2022 FIDE World Rapid Chess Championship.
A round-11 hiccup against GM Vladislav Artemiev pulled Carlsen’s tournament into question briefly. However, a brilliant round-13 demolition of GM Parham Maghsoodloo put all the pressure on co-leaders GMs Vincent Keymer and Artemiev, who both failed to win their final games.
A playoff was required to confirm the women’s rapid world champion due to GM Tan Zhongyi and IM Dinara Saduakassova both finishing on 8.5/11. In a scintillating two-game blitz tiebreaker Tan managed to take down the local hero and add another world title to her glowing resume.
The 2022 FIDE World Blitz Chess Championship will begin on Thursday, December 28, starting at 1 a.m. PT / 10:00 CET.
Our game of the day, analyzed by GM Rafael Leitao, will be added shortly.
