Magnus Carlsen won the Chessable Masters after pasting Alireza Firouzja in the Grand Final Reset of Division I. The Boy had two wins in a row and a draw in game 4 to set up a rematch. In the Reset, Carlsen struck first and went on to destroy Firouzja 2-0.
Meanwhile, white to mate in 2.
NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.
