Quantbox Chennai Grand Masters 2025 (9)
Vincent Keymer dominates the Quantbox Chennai Grand Masters 2025
Mark Crowther - Friday 15th August 2025
Vincent Keymer was the runaway winner of the Quantbox Chennai Grand Masters. Keymer started with three wins in a row against Nihal Sarin, V Pranav and Murali Karthikeyan. He drew against Giri in Round 4 and in Round 6 against close rival Arjun Erigaisi and then beat Awonder Liang in round 7. He'd already sewn up victory with a round to spare but added to his total by beating Ray Robson in the final round. Clearly one of the performances of the year.
I've annotated the games against Erigaisi and Robson below.
