Chess blog for latest news and trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2011
Hi everyone,
Grandmaster Alexey Dreev has won the first Cento Chess Open in Italy on tiebreak edging Grandmaster David Alberto to the second place. Incidentally, GM Alberto had led in much of the tournament and was expected to win. But the top three games finished in draws in the last round and three players shared the first place with 7 points each. So, GM Dreev lived up to his billing as the top seed. GM Roland Salvador won the third place.
