Chess Train 2014

The end is near!

[14.10.2014 00:00:00] - The fighting over the lead in the tournament is close to its end. After the three rounds of the fourth day. Currently leading GM Ian Rogers was joined by IM David Kaňovský who won over GM Vlastimil Hort in a really beautiful game with several sacrifices. These two players with 7,5 points are closely followed by GM Vlastimil Hort and GM Petr Neuman with 7 points.
But still, this is not the final state. There are three rounds remaining and so even other players can change it. Especially those with 6,5 points as GM Martin Petr and Oleg Maksimov.
The fight is no less breathtaking on the other side of the rank. The 88 years-old Marianne Hartlaub, German chess player originally from Sudetenland in the Czech Republic, has already obtained 2,5 points.
