Peter Leko congrats Vincent Keymer after his victory in .
Vincent Keymer: "There are many people to thank. First of all organizers of GCT and also this event has been done amazingly, playing conditions and everything!
And then, of course, Peter Leko, he's been here. He's always there with full energy and everything. I guess quite a few sleepless nights or at least nights of very little sleep. So, yeah, big shout out to him! Of course, he always has a big part in my performance and the level that I'm able to show.
Then, of course, also thanks to my father who's been here. You know, he's been with me at tournaments for a long time and it's always great having that support here. And, of course, also to all the fans who've been cheering me on here!"
