When it comes to speed chess, one should never bet against Nihal Sarin, be it over-the-board or online. He is that good when the time is less. This is Nihal's first rating tournament triumph of the year. We hope this is the first of many to come in the next few months. The third leg of the GP will take place at Brasov in Romania from 15th to 21st July 2024. Use code: CBI20 to get 20% off on registration.
