Big report on day two

Firouzja Wins Rapid On Tiebreak, Aronian, Fedoseev Knocked Out

He was a bit surprised himself about how things emerged, because he hadn’t been in the lead anywhere in the tournament. Still, it was Alireza Firouzja who ended up winning the rapid round-robin on Saturday, edging out first-day leader Javokhir Sindarov on tiebreak as both finished on 6.5 points.

Day 1 of the Preliminaries in the 2025 WEISSENHAUS Freestyle Grand Slam

Sindarov impresses, tops the leaderboard with Caruana

“I was just trying to play against the pieces, not against Magnus.”

This approach helped Javokhir Sindarov to beat Magnus Carlsen in their first-ever over-the-board game, part of the Uzbek’s magnificent 4.5/5 score. That could even have been 5/5, as he was also winning against classical chess world champion Gukesh Dommaraju. Sindarov leads the rapid tournament after day one, a preliminary event that will decide which eight players will make it to the knockout phase starting on Sunday.
