Tactics Tuesday: FIDE World Rapid & Blitz, Pt. 3 (Andy, Brew, and Tani return)

This week's Tactics Tuesday continues a multi-week feature on the 2024 FIDE World Rapid & Blitz Championships, held December 26 through 31 in New York. Our coverage of the rapid and blitz events focused on the winners, but several dozen Americans competed and many gained rating and delivered some nice upsets. So, we'll be taking a look at their games for the next few weeks!

This week, we once again focus on a trio of Americans who competed in their first-ever FIDE Rapid & Blitz Championships. GM Andy Woodward (14), GM-Elect Brewington Hardaway (15), and FM Tanitoluwa "Tani" Adewumi (14) should be familiar names to many of our readers by this point, but this was still a bit of a global coming out party for the trio.
