Tata Steel Masters 2020 round 01

🗣 | Alireza Firouzja won his first game in #WijkaanZee. What are your expectations for the rest of the #TataSteelChess Tournament?

David Llada:
Firouzja won, and last time I checked Xiong and Van Forest had a promising position.

When it was the last time that we had such a pack of young hungry lions playing in a round robin tournament like this? This edition of Wijk ann Zee is specially exciting! #TataSteelChess

We would like to wish a happy birthday to Sergey Karyakin!🎂🎉🎈

It feels like yesterday when 'Seryozha' became the youngest grandmaster ever at the age of 12 years and 7 months, a record that still stands to this day. But time waits for no man, and today Sergey turns 30 years old.
