chess24 Legends 12: It’s a Nepo vs. Carlsen final!
Ian Nepomniachtchi will play the chess24 Legends of Chess
final against Magnus Carlsen after beating Anish Giri in a tense match that
went to blitz tiebreakers. Nepo, who said he’d wanted to break things in his
house after losing the day before, admitted he was in trouble in almost all the
games but broke through after five draws with a brilliant final win. Ian has
the extra incentive of playing not just for the $45,000 top prize but a place
in the $300,000 Tour Final, while Magnus has already booked his spot.
