Peter Svidler is the clear winner of the Jerusalem Masters 2024. Ten players took part in this rapid tournament, which was part of a three-day chess festival. Five players were from Israel and five from other countries.
Peter Svidler was top seed, and lived up to his role as favourite. He finished day 1 of the rapid tournament with 4.0/5 to share the lead Vasyl Ivanchuk. Svidler then began two 2 with two wins in a row.
In addition to Idor Gorshtein, Svidler also defeated Evgeny Postny. After a draw with Dutchman Jorden van Foreest in round eight, Svidler suffered a defeat to Daniil Dubov, but it did not threaten his victory.
Ivanchuk, however, was unable to repeat his good result from the first day of the tournament. The veteran began with a win over Postny, but then suffered three successive defeats to van Foreest, Dubov and Pavel Eljanov.
Jorden van Foreest and Daniil Dubov
Van Foreest started day 1 with 2.5/5, but on day 2 he scored 3 points from four games and finished second on tiebreak, ahead of Dubov and Avital Boruchovsky. All three finished on 5.5/9.
The 28-year-old Avital Boruchovsky, a Grandmaster since 2014, is thus the best local player in the tournament.
