Congratulations to Jan-Krzysztof Duda 🇵🇱!!! 🎊😃🎊

He came back from a three-point deficit to score another amazing upset and advance to the #speedchess semifinals!

Matchups and pairings

Grischuk wins game two as Black with some nice positional and tactical play.
Duda is now down 0-2 and struggling to find his footing against the #speedchess master Grischuk!

Even super-GMs blunder their queens! 😲

Even Duda has to laugh at this #speedchess error!

Two excellent wins in a row for Duda close the match to one point! Here he played a fine attack and ensuing endgame as Black. 💪

Grischuk leads 4-3 in #speedchess.

4-4! Duda comes back from being three games down and can't help but grin as he scores another #speedchess win! 😁

Grischuk wins the final 5|1 game with a nice attack as White and takes the lead again: 5-4!

From -5 to +10, Duda turns this dead-lost game around as White and again levels the match at 7-7 in #speedchess! 📈

Is that the #speedchess match?!

You can see Duda's anguish as he lets this game get away from him!

It's not over yet!!!

Duda finds an amazing checkmate to close within a game and get a chance to take this #speedchess match to overtime!

O.M.G!!! 😘

The players are so hyped-up on adrenaline, they can't keep track of the clock in this chaotic final #speedchess game!

What a stunner!

Super-GM, 20-year-old chess deity, and "most hated man in Russia" according to Daniel Rensch will (like all of us) still always be mama's little boy. 😍

#about_Chigorin

🔸 Mikhail Chigorin
🔸 Russian Chess Master

🔰 Mikhail Ivanovich Chigorin was a leading Russian chess player. He played two World Championship matches against Wilhelm Steinitz, losing both times.

🔘 Full name: Mikhail Ivanovich Chigorin
🔘 Country: Russian Empire
🔘 Born: 12 November 1850
🔺 Gatchina, St. Petersburg Governorate, Russian Empire
🔘 Died: January 25, 1908 (aged 57)
🔺 Lublin, Lublin Governorate
🔺 Russian Empire (Congress Poland)

🔰 Chigorin was born in Gatchina but moved to nearby Saint Petersburg some time later. His father worked in the Okhtensk gunpowder works. Chigorin's parents died young and Chigorin entered the Gatchinsk Orphans' Institute at the age of 10. He became serious about chess uncommonly late in life; his school teacher taught him the moves at the age of 16, but he did not take to the game until around 1874, having first finished his studies before commencing a career as a government officer.

Once smitten with the game, he terminated his employment and started life as a chess professional. In 1876, he started a chess magazine, Chess Sheet, which he edited until 1881 (only 250 subscribers in all of Russia). He played a series of matches with established masters Emanuel Schiffers (1878–1880) and Semyon Alapin (1880) and notched up a large plus score against each. It was not long after that he was regarded as the best player in the city and possibly the whole of Russia.

His first international tournament was Berlin 1881, where he was equal third (+10−5=1) with Szymon Winawer, behind Johannes Zukertort and Joseph Henry Blackburne. This event included 17 master competitors.
