What an unbelievable journey! From the narrowest of margins in the group stages to standing on the podium at the Royal Opera House, the Alpine SG Pipers have officially been crowned the Champions of Global Chess League Season 3! 🥇

This victory wasn't just about individual moves; it was about a team that refused to back down. After a nail-biting path to the finals, we took down the two-time defending champions with a clinical 2-0 sweep in the final matches.

A massive salute to the incredible squad:

• Fabiano Caruana & Anish Giri: Leading from the front with world-class precision and leadership.

• Hou Yifan: Proving once again why she is an absolute legend of the game.

• Nino Batsiashvili & Leon Luke Mendonca: Our "clutch" stars who delivered vital wins exactly when the pressure was highest.

To our fans who cheered us on through every time scramble and tactical battle—this trophy is for you! We came, we saw, and we played the Pipers' tune all the way to the top.
