Cornette holds steady in Round 3 of the Tournoi des Trois Vallées 2026, the nine-round Swiss taking place in Tihange. The 90-minute time control plus 30-second increment gives players room to calculate, though the 30-minute sudden-death phase after 40 moves keeps the pressure mounting. Cornette's performance so far shapes the early standings as competitors jostle for position in what's shaping up as a competitive field.
