Titled Tuesday Blitz 20th May 2025 - Games and Results

The Titled Tuesday Blitz 20th May saw Dmitry Andreikin win the early event with 10/11 beating Nihal Sarin along the way. In the late Arjun Erigaisi found a new spin on a perfect score. Quite a few players have scored 11/11. Erigaisi missed Round 1 and won with 10/10 defeating Magnus Carlsen in the final round. That game was rather balanced until Carlsen's rather weird 25...Bd8?! but it was 29... Bxd5? (29...Bxc3 forced) that cost Carlsen the game. Carlsen also lost to Jose Eduardo Martinez Alcantara, getting into desperate time trouble in a winning position, and then losing on time. I had to truncate the early table as it was too wide.
