Molina won the 2021 IM Not A GM Speed Chess Championship as he beat Levy Rozman in the final on 3/10/21. Molina won 12.5-7.5 to take the championship. He has had a great championship after winning against Alessia Santeramo (@AlessiaSanteramo), Lawrence Trent (@LawrenceTrent), and Lars Oskar Hauge (@larso) to reach the final. Rozman won against Canty, Rosen, and Shahade. He was considered the favorite because he won his quarterfinal and semifinal matches by coming back. His semifinal match was most impressive when he won 8 games in a row! (WOW!). He was behind 7.5-5.5 after the 3+1 portion. Everyone thought he was going to come back like his previous matches but not this time. Rozman said "Every time I felt good, he would just take my dreams away from me."
 Congratulations to the contestants!!!!!

Every time I felt good, he would just take my dreams away from me.

After that, he took my soul.
