Winning starts with what you know
The new version 18 offers completely new possibilities for chess training and analysis: playing style analysis, search for strategic themes, access to 6 billion Lichess games, player preparation by matching Lichess games, download Chess.com games with built-in API, built-in cloud engine and much more.
The idea comes from New York chess organiser, Jose Cuchi. Alfonso Pedraza, a very well know Spanish organizer, and the Bali Hotel in Benidorm, picked up the format and are staging a Festival which runs from November 22 to December 1, 2002. There are almost 300 participants from 17 countries. The "Stars Tournament" runs from Nov. 29 to Dec. 1st and is a 12 players round robin. Rate of play: 15 minutes plus 10 seconds per move.
The Star players are:
Prize fund:
1. 4.200 2. 2.400 3. 1.800 4. 1.200 5. 1.200 6. 1.200 7. 600 8. 600 9. 600 10. 600 11. 600 12. 600
One of the targets of this year's Benidorm tournament is to promote next year's edition of the event, scheduled for November 2003. The organisers inform us that this tournament will be announced in January 2003, giving enough time to many European and American amateurs to plan their holidays.
