Alireza Firouzja conquers Saint Louis, again!

A draw against R. Praggnanandhaa was all Alireza Firouzja needed to take first place at the Sinquefield Cup - and he safely kept the balance until getting the required half point after 47 moves. Firouzja had secured overall victory in the Grand Chess Tour with a round to spare. The eventful final round saw Fabiano Caruana (who grabbed second place), Nodirbek Abdusattorov and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave collecting full points. | Photo: Lennart Ootes / Saint Louis Chess Club
