Just finished the second Vergani Cup by scoring my last Grandmaster norm to become a Grandmaster! I wasn't sure what to expect after 9 months of absence from classical chess, but it was difficult to imagine this happening. Lifegoal achieved!

Alireza Firouzja seems to have made the mistake of playing 250 30-second games last night. 500 15-second games would have given him more training games in the same time frame.
