Extra Life for Alireza

0/5 with black by Firouzja and looked that his games with Gukesh was going to mean the sixth 0 but he managed to turn the tables and tied with Abdu with 1 round remaining and both facing each other in the last round

They draw the last round and the 2 games of the tiebreaks so this just can mean one thing:
ARMAGEDDON!!!

Crazy game who gived the tournament to Firouzja cause in the Armageddons the guy who plays with black wins in case of draw, congrats to Abdu too who made a great comeback.
I really enjoyed the tournament, the next stop of the Grand Chess Tour is going to be Saint Louis with firsta rapid and blitz event, then a classical one to end the tour with the Fianals in a knockout format so follow me here and in youtube to don't miss what happen, bye bye.
