Dutch winner of the Tata Steel Masters
21-year-old Jorden van Foreest is the first Dutch winner of Wijk aan Zee since Jan Timman 36 years ago in 1985. It could have been another Dutchman, Anish Giri, but Jorden won their playoff in Armageddon mayhem on the same day the 11th seed crossed 2700 for the first time. 18-year-old Russian Andrey Esipenko also crossed 2700 as he finished 3rd, on the same score as Fabiano Caruana and 17-year-old Alireza Firouzja, who was furious when the arbiters tried to move his game to another board before the playoff. Magnus Carlsen beat MVL, but still finished in his lowest place since he first played Wijk aged 16.
