In a dramatic conclusion to the 2024 TePe Sigeman Chess Tournament, Nodirbek Abdusattorov emerged victorious after overcoming initial setbacks, including a loss in the first round and trailing the leaders by half a point. The tournament featured intense competition among top players, with Peter Svidler, Arjun Erigaisi, and Anton Korobov initially leading, each scoring 4.5/8 points. However, Abdusattorov's consistent performance in the classical games, scoring 4.5/7, and his triumph in the three-way blitz tiebreaks against Svidler and Erigaisi secured his victory. Notably, Abdusattorov and Erigaisi both defeated Svidler in the tiebreaks, and after drawing their individual game, the title was decided in a final two-game tiebreak between Abdusattorov and Erigaisi.
Nodirbek Abdusattorov currently leads the FIDE Circuit (ahead of Arjun Erigaisi), after his win in Malmo made him the only player to have scored two of the Top 10 scores so far! The points system has been hotly debated: https://t.co/Ktff5DC3eM https://t.co/I5dhG30AGa
