German boys and their coach 😭😭😭

Another mind-blowing Wijk coming to an end. Congrats to Nodirbek - very impressive indeed! Javokhir kept establishing himself among the very top. Vincent managed to win so many games after a poor start - a quality which only few have. Jorden - probably the most exciting games throughout the event. So many ideas, such a freshness! Yagiz, great debut. At times it felt like young Kasparov. Many records to break for the boy with a clear World Champion potential and ambitions. Turkey to emerge as chess super power within couple of years. Matthias proved he is worthy Candidate and belongs to 2700+ club. Andy makes to the Masters next year. Excited to see another young star emerging. Just few months ago he needed a wild card to play the Grand Swiss - and now one can fairly expect him to clinch 2700 soon. Vasyl - no words. Genius. He did not qualify at the end of the day, but I'd say everyone would be happy to see him in the Masters next year. Bibissara - very formidable play. Kept her cool and performed at 2600+ in such a company. And of course, many other heroes at this unique event. That was exceptional. That was Wijk.
