7/29/2020 – Radoslaw Wojtaszek won the 2020 Grandmaster Triathlon in Biel thanks to his strong performance in all three disciplines — the Polish GM won the Rapid, tied in first in the Blitz and was the second highest scorer in the Classical. Pentala Harikrishna finished in second place, despite getting by far the best score in the Classical (+4). It was his poor showing in the Blitz that prevented him from winning the event. Michael Adams came in third place.
