Wild Card Fedoseev wins with three rounds to spare
Vladimir Fedoseev (SLO) has been a top player for a really long time. This dominating performance of his does not come as a surprise. He was tied first at World Rapid 2017 with Vishy Anand. In the tie-breaks, Anand defeated Fedoseev to become the World Rapid champion. In World Rapid 2023, Fedoseev once again finished second. Although this time, tie-breaks were not needed.
