Biel: Wojtaszek and Svane are eliminated

The first decisions have been made at the Biel Grandmaster Triathlon: today’s blitz chess matches marked the end of the qualification phase. Svane and Wojtaszek were unable to make up their deficit and are the last two players to be eliminated from the Masters. In the Challengers, the blitz games brought another change: Navara proved to be the stronger blitz player than Ma Qun and was thus able to push past the Chinese player into fourth place. In the coming week, the remaining players will now play for victory in Biel 2025. | Photos: Biel Chess Festival
