A last-second blunder by MVL, and Pragg wins it!
Congratulations @BoltonBailey @Weezing and @robert

Hope to see you all in the CCT Tournament, starting in <3 days.

While we wait for the 3-way tiebreaks to start, let me remind you all that the next CCT event is just 3 days away. I have a question on that if you want to predict the winner: https://manifold.markets/Ram_N/chess-winner-of-the-2025-cct-chessc?r=UmFtX04

Chess: Winner of the 2025 CCT Chess.com Classic May 18-23?

The 2025 Champions Chess Tour Chess.com Classic is scheduled from May 18 to May 23, 2025. The tournament features top players including Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Gukesh Dommaraju, Nodirbek Abdusattorov, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Ding Liren, and Wei Yi. Additional players qualifying through play-ins will be added to the list. I will be adding the names of the 8 players who qualify through play-ins. The event will determine a single winner, with tie-breaks applied if necessary. For more details, visit the official tournament page: Chess.com Classic 2025.

@traders Both Alireza and MVL won today. So a 3-way tiebreaker?

Pragg is the sole leader, but he's just 0.5 points ahead of the others going into the final round. Fabi, Alireza and MVL are all just half a point behind him. It should be a fantastic final round.

@Ram_N "The winner will be determined based on the highest score at the end of the event". What if there is a tie? Will you resolve evenly amongst all tied for first? Or will you mark a sole winner according to tiebreaks?

@BoltonBailey Fair question. I plan to go with the tiebreaks and declare only one winner.

4 GMs leading, with only 3 rounds to go. This one won't be easy to predict! Gukesh lost today to Alireza.

We are just past the halfway mark. 5/9 rounds done, 4 more rounds to go. Only one point separates the top 3 from the very last. So it could be anyone's tournament!
