In Fischer's footsteps: Felix Meißner scores 100%
The second tournament in the Autumn Series (last Wednesday, November 4) was won by Felix Meißner who scored 9 points from 9 games! Before the final round he was certain to win the tournament but still gave his best. The Irish IM David Fitzsimmons came in second, with 7.5 points. The other prize winners were Veaceslav Cofmann (6.5), Moawad Elsayed Abdel Hameid and Robert Baskin.
Games
The third tournament in the series comes up with an important novelty: In addition to prizes for the five best players, there will be two prizes in each of three rating groups. The FIDE-Elo or the national ranking (if you do not have a FIDE-Elo) determines your rating group, and this way everyone has a good chance to win a prize.
