Jan-Krzysztof Duda won 2.5:0.5 against Canadian Eric Hansen in the seventh round of the Oslo Esports Cup (prize pool $216,000), which is part of the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour. The Pole with a performance of 14 points was the winner of the event.
The best Polish chess player to triumph in the CCT tournament for the first time owes to the excellent finish and favourable result of the final round, in which World Champion Magnus Carlsen and 16-year-old Ramesbabu Praggnanandhaa from India as well as second-placed Vietnamese Liem Quang Le lost points.
Congratulations @GM_JKDuda! ?? https://t.co/VCLFFrxIBC
