Triveni Continental Kings (TCK) won the inaugural edition of the Global Chess League after a thrilling final where the winner was decided through three stages of tie-breaks.

Danish Grandmaster Jonas Bjerre, 19, brought victory to TCK after beating Uzbek 17-year-old prodigy Javokhir Sindarov in a suspenseful game.


Bjerre, who was one of the most inexperienced players in the tournament and lost most of his games, delivered the crucial victory when it mattered. After suffering a series of four losses to Sindarov, in a drawn-even endgame which the Uzbek player decided to force, Bjerre got the upper hand and won.
