Masters Prague: Firouzja wins his first supertournament

Alireza Firouzja, 16, won the 2020 Prague Masters after beating Vidit 2:0 in a blitz tiebreaker. He had a huge fighting spirit and some help from the universe as Firouzja survived a losing position against David Anton to join a 5-man tie for 1st place. Despite being matched by Jan-Krzysztof Duda, Vidit still had the best tiebreakers and qualified for a tiebreaker against Alireza, but their 2 losses there made a disastrous result of 4 consecutive defeats in the end. Jorden van Foreest took the Challengers title and will play the Masters next year after winning 3 of his last 4 matches.
