Jan-Krzysztof Duda wins the FIDE World Cup

Jan-Krzysztof Duda has won the 2021 FIDE World Cup after a brilliant win over Sergey Karjakin in the final classical game. The 23-year-old Polish star didn’t lose a single game all tournament, with World Champion Magnus Carlsen describing the player who beat him in the semi-finals as a “richly deserved winner”. Magnus himself wrapped things up in style to take 3rd place by beautifully crushing Vladimir Fedoseev for a second day in a row. He was happy to have won eight classical games and lost none during the event.
