TWIC 969(HUN) INDEX-June 3 2013

Introduction
TWIC is the work of Mark Crowther

Salento Open 2013:Gallery
GM Horvath, Cs took clear first with 7.5/9. WGM Rudolf,Anna finished with 5.5/9.

'E’ il GM Csaba Horvath il vincitore del 2° Open internazionale del Salento che si è tenuto all’Ecoresort” Le Sirene” di Gallipoli, in Puglia.

GM Csaba Horvath

In avvio il GM di origini russe Oleg Korneev, favorito e top del tabellone, sembrava poter facilmente dominare il torneo, specie dopo aver sconftto il campione del Kuwati Bader Al Hajiri.

Kuwati Champion-Al Hajiri,Bader 

Ma nel giorno del faticoso doppio turno, il campione russo ha subìto una doppia patta, prima contro l’IM di casa Pierluigi Piscopo, poi contro la campionessa indiana WGM Tania Sachdev, così l’ungherese ne ha approfittato conquistando la testa della classifica che non ha più perduto fino alla fine.
Il campione, quindi, è lui.'
