Champ-de-Mars

16th World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen also won the blitz event of the 2017 Paris Grand Chess Tour after a thrilling tie-break against French Grandmaster Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, thus becoming, for the second year, Roi du Paris. His Hamletic dilemmas, his erratic mood and virile temper, as well as any other expressions captured in the painterly pictures of Lennart Ootes, undoubtedly ended up helping screenwriters with their screenplays, otherwise tied to the autoreferential and mediareflexive narrative of the “Top Ten Club”.
