Radjabov Wins FIDE Chess World Cup; Vachier-Lagrave Finishes 3rd Place.

Teimour Radjabov ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฟ won the $110,000 first prize at the FIDE World Cup after beating Ding Liren ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ (who earned $80,000) in the 5+3 games of this Friday’s final tiebreak. Maxime Vachier-Lagrave ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท came third ($60,000) as he beat Yu Yangyi ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ ($50,000) in both rapid games.
The FIDE World Cup has been won by Levon Aronian ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฒ (2005), Gata Kamsky ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ (2007), Boris Gelfand ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ (2009), Peter Svidler ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ (2011), Vladimir Kramnik ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ (2013), Sergey Karjakin ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ (2015) and again Aronian (2017). Now a new name is added to this list of great players and fighters: Teimour Radjabov.
Staying remarkably cool and showing fighting spirit at the moment when it counted, the 32-year-old Azerbaijani defeated 26-year-old Ding, the top seed in the tournament, in the five-minute portion of the tiebreak.
The FIDE World Cup took place from September 9 to October 4 in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ. Each round consisted of two classical games and a tiebreak on the third day. The final consisted of four classical games. Both Radjabov and Ding are qualified to the 2020 Candidates’ Tournament.
