The Lost Immortal, Firouzja Throws an Overwhelming Advantage After Playing Like Tal

Just when the chess heavens seemed serene, thunder struck those square clouds. It wasn't a storm approaching, not a physical one at least. It was a tempest of youthful energy and creativity, an ongoing onslaught that seemed to be packed with the surge of a thousand batteries.

It was. . .Tal? No, Firouzja. Out of the heavens, a thunderous move that seemed to make the whole sky cave in.

Could a being use a hidden strength to separate the billows and quell the storm?

And then, as if from the sun, a man came into view from a tower, a gigantic rook.

Vitiugov?
