ETCC 1: Firouzja world no. 4 after French debut

Alireza Firouzja beat Markus Ragger and climbed back to world no. 4 on the live rating list as he made his debut in a 3:1 victory for France over Austria in Round 1 of the European Team Championship. France, who also feature MVL, are 3rd seeds, with top seeds Russia and Azerbaijan cruising in Round 1. There were upsets, however, with England living to regret resting Mickey Adams as they lost 2.5:1.5 to Norway, while wins for Anish Giri and Jorden van Foreest weren’t enough to stop Georgia holding the Netherlands to a draw.
