GM Wesley So clinched the inaugural Chess.com Global Championship, defeating GM Nihal Sarin in the final with two games to spare. So takes home the $200,000 grand prize―the largest prize of his career so far―while Nihal earns the sizeable $100,000 second prize.
In game six, So displayed amazing defensive abilities to seal the championship. This is our Game of the Day (annotations by GM Rafael Leitao included in the full report).
