The centrepiece of the 2nd Munich Chess Festival (24 May to 2 June) was a well-attended A-Open with 132 participants. A number of strong grandmasters took part, top seed was Vladimir Fedoseev.
Among the players most likely to challenge the grandmaster, who now plays for Slovenia, were Ukrainian Pavel Eljanov, seeded second, and the German grandmasters Dmitrij Kollars and Frederik Svane.
Vladimir Fedoseev took the lead from the very beginning, but was unable to shake off a few other players, including Pavel Eljanov and the less well-known Giga Quparadze from Georgia.
Pavel Eljanov
In the seventh round, the Georgian even managed to beat Fedoseev and took the sole lead with 6.0/7.
In the last two rounds, however, Quparadze did not manage to score more than two draws against Frederik Svane and the young German IM Alex Dac-Vuong Nguyen, and was caught up by the chasers.
The best woman in the field was Evgeniya Doluhanova, who finished 11th with 6.0/9.
The Ukrainian had an Elo-performance of more than 2400 and managed to beat two grandmasters during the tournament.
