During the 8th round of the Global Chess League in London, Teimour Radjabov's selection as the best player of the match sparked a strong reaction among fans.
As Idman.biz reports, the Azerbaijani grandmaster's remarkable victory over Parham Maghsoodloo (Iran), using the black pieces, captivated chess enthusiasts worldwide. This crucial win helped Triveni Continental Kings salvage a draw in the match and maintain their position in third place in the league standings.
In a creative gesture, Radjabov's team honored his performance by depicting him as Thomas Shelby, the iconic character from the popular British TV series "Peaky Blinders", on their website. The portrait was accompanied by the caption: "Player of the Match."
