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

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.
