13 Dec, 2022by gprevenasΣκακιστικά νέα

The 2022 Chessable Sunway Sitges Chess Festival kicked off yesterday in Sitges, Barcelona. The event will be held from 11-22 December and features two tournaments: Open A and Open B, with the total prize fund of 27.155eur.

Sitges’ Tourism Councilor, Luis M. García, and the tournament director officially inaugurated the 9th edition of the Sunway Sitges Chess Festival. The first round kicked off with strict anti-cheating controls, and GM Hans Niemann, who has been in the limelight of the cheating accusations, went under the checks before the start of the game.

The first round of the event saw a few upsets. GM Ivan Cheparinov drew against Kulkarni Ojas, while GM Jules Moussard couldn’t prevail against Merino Franco Gasic and the game finished in a draw. GM Anton Korobov failed to win against Jayden Wong Zhenyong on the 9th board, and right next to him, GM Amin Tabatabaei resigned his game against Israeli player Netanel Levi.

As expected, the event attracted many spectators. One of them was one of the best female chess players of all time, Susan Polgar. “This is the first time in a long time that I attend a tournament this caliber. Very impressive venue and the organizers are treating the players like VIPs! 15% of female players”, wrote Susan on her twitter account.
