Caruana 🇺🇸 (2841.6, World #2) wins #TataSteelChess with 10/13 (+7=6) and now he is only 9.7 rating points behind of his personal live rating record (2851.3), which he achieved playing under the Italian flag.

David Anton had the better tiebreakers, but in the end he didn't need them as he qualified for the Masters by finishing clear 1st in the Challengers! Meanwhile the three 15-year-olds performed well after a slow start:

Congratulations to David Antón who we understand has won the #TataSteelChess Challengers and booked himself a place in next year's Masters after drawing his last game vs. Lucas van Foreest!

💙♟ | David Anton Guijarro - Winner of the Tata Steel Challengers 2020!

Fridrik Olafsson, who turns 85 today, played in Buenos Aires 1980 when he was already FIDE President. And he scored in this tournament his only victory over Anatoly Karpov. The "reigning" FIDE President defeated the reigning World Champion.
