GM Roberto García Pantoja is the 2024 Americas Continental Champion! He finished a clear point ahead of a group of 11 players, including 10-year-old FM Faustino Oro, who beat 2607-rated GM Georg Meier in the final round.

GMs Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura, currently ranked 1st and 2nd respectively, meet again in Round 7 of Norway Chess! World Champion Ding Liren, still in last place, will try to bounce back from his defeat to Carlsen yesterday - missing mate in two with over 30 minutes on the clock.

Our 1+0 Bullet Shield Arena, the first of seven daily Shield Arenas this week, starts in 2 hours! The winner gets a unique trophy and will keep it until next month's tournament.

10-year-old FM Faustino Oro has achieved his second IM norm in the Americas Continental Championship! Oro already holds the record for being the youngest player ever to achieve an IM norm. He is now just one norm and a 2400 rating away from the title. Follow the games of the final round, with GM Pantoja in the lead.
