Titled Tuesday Blitz 26th August 2025

Mark Crowther - Wednesday 27th August 2025

The Titled Tuesday Blitz 26th August was the last in this format with major changes coming next week. Tuan Minh Le was the winner of the early with 10.5/11 a point and a half clear of the field, Carlsen finished a further point and a half back on 8.5 points. Aleksei Sarana won the late with 9.5/11 half a point clear of Arjun Erigaisi, Dmitry Andreikin, Magnus Carlsen and Oleksandr Bortnyk, somewhat surprisingly Fabiano Caruana also played after his early finish in the Sinquefield Cup and he was half a point further back. The games are available for download but the files are too large to be displayed.
