Day three of the Americas Series of Armageddon! You are where you need to be if you missed the action: Sam Shankland won 2-0 in a convincing style, while Leinier “Gentleman Grandmaster” Dominguez – in Simon Williams’s words – was the cooler-headed of the two when it came down to Armageddon! Have a glimpse at the venue, some exclusive behind-the-scenes, and more!

The Armageddon Championship Series is a season of high-intensity, ultra-fast gameplay. The world’s greatest chess players compete under excruciating time pressure, with a real-time heartbeat and calories-burned data points displayed alongside breakneck moves and cutting analysis, all broadcast live from Berlin.
