Niemann convincingly beats Liang in Paris (opens in new tab)

Three wins and nine draws in twelve games - not a bad record for the winner. Remaining unbeaten, Hans Niemann left no doubt during his match in Paris against Awonder Liang. Niemann (pictured at the Grenke Open 2026 in Karlsruhe) won games three, eight and nine in the all-American clash, in which Liang was unable to score a single win. | Photo: ChessBase / Nils Rohde
