Firouzja Beats Carlsen Twice In Grand Final, Wins 2024 Chess.com Classic

GM Alireza Firouzja is the second player to defeat GM Magnus Carlsen two times in a Grand Final of the Champions Chess Tour, a feat that only GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave achieved previously. On Wednesday, the French number-one won the Chess.com Classic 2024 to earn $30,000, 100 tour points, a spot in the in-person live Finals, and a deserved page in chess history.
Carlsen was, without exaggeration, one move away from winning his eighth consecutive tournament, but a blunder in game four dramatically altered the course of the match. Firouzja won two games on demand and then the armageddon in the second match to complete the turnaround.
