GM Alireza Firouzja has succeeded in setting up another all-French clash with GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave in the CrunchLabs Masters 2024 Division I Grand Final. GM Ian Nepomniachtchi defeated GM Magnus Carlsen 2-1 in the Losers Semifinals, but the French number-one took him down in the Losers Final.
Division I is put on pause until Wednesday. Instead, Tuesday will focus solely on the Grand Finals in Division II, featuring GM Vidit Gujrathi vs. GM Alexander Grischuk, and Division III, with GM Arjun Erigaisi vs. GM Evgeny Alekseev. All three divisions feature a rematch of their respective Winners Final.
The Grand Finals in Divisions II and III are on Tuesday, July 22, starting at 11 a.m. ET / 17:00 CEST / 8:30 p.m.
