Atomic Grandmasters #1: ASGM Sutcunuri
There are many high-rated Atomic players. However, only some of these players have achieved the norms needed for the Atomic Grandmaster or Atomic Supergrandmaster title. In this blog, I will examine and determine which players have earned these titles.There exists a team on lichess that determines atomic titles. Please read the team page before reading this blog, as the blog will not make sense without this information.
