1. # More info:

   Also you can see [here: ‘chess players by their peak blitz rating’](https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/36691/list-of-chess-players-by-their-peak-fide-blitz-rating) that last year:

   1. Alireza was only 2810 peak blitz (in 2021 July).
   2. Only 5 players have reached 2900+ peak blitz.

   ​

   So now Alireza is the 6th player to have reached 2900+ peak blitz.

2. Ah tient, les ruskofs n’ont pas droit à leur drapeau.

3. A noter que Firouzja est aussi 4èm au classement mondial en standard et 1er chez les juniors.

4. Les classements en blitz et en rapide ne veulent pas dire grand chose.

   MVL est champion du monde de blitz et il hors du top 10 monde.
