I have long been aware that the only way I was ever going to maintain my 100% record against Alireza Firouzja was if I never played him again. His play is so brilliant, it is scary.

Alireza Firouzja just keeps on rolling. On 6.5/7 and 2798.9, he's a win over Alexander Grischuk today (or a draw & a win tomorrow) away from reaching 2800 sooner than Magnus! #ETCC2021 Rounds 6 & 7 report:
