Ivan Salgado Went Ahead of Veterans in Barcelona
Время публикации: 22.10.2011 22:27 | Последнее обновление: 22.10.2011 22:32
A young Spanish Grandmaster Ivan Saldago went ahead of veteran American chess player Yasser Seirawan on tie-break (both gathered 5% out of 8) which means he became the winner of the Magistral Casino Barcelona tournament. The third place went to Canadian veteran Kevin Spranggett with 5 points.
As we've reported earlier Eduardo Iturrizaga withdrew the tournament after being envolved in a car accident; so the tournament was held among nine participants.
The closing ceremony: participants and not only
The tournament went in an intense struggle - nobody eluded a loss. Check some examples.
