MCCT Finals: Carlsen 1st, Radjabov 2nd, Aronian 3rd

“To finish off the tour with a win against him is special” said World Champion Magnus Carlsen as he beat his great rival Wesley So twice with 1.b3 to end the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour on a high. Teimour Radjabov was the star of the Finals and took down Maxime Vachier-Lagrave to clinch the deserved $60,000 2nd prize, while Levon Aronian also sneaked ahead of Wesley at the finish to take the $40,000 3rd prize with victory over Shakhriyar Mamedyarov. The Tour will be back in February 2022.
