Wednesday Workout: FIDE World Rapid & Blitz, Pt. 3 (Andy, Brew, & Tani Again!)

This week's Wednesday Workout continues our series 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 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.
