Spain Chess: Ivan Salgado Wins College Chess 2013

Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2013

Hi everyone, 


One of the top GMs from Spain took first place at the Spanish College Championship 2013 which took place on 17th-19th April at the Universidad de Extremadura in Badajoz, Spain. GM Ivan Salgado had an undefeated performance to get 7.5/9 points. Even though he was the clear rating favorite, he managed to get a positive Elo FIDE change for the next list, according to a Chessdom report. IM Manuel Peña, who represented the UNED as well, obtained the same amount of points as his higher-rated colleague but fell short on the tiebreak score. The UNED took clear first place at the collective competition.
