Hello everyone,
The 46th Annual Liberty Bell Open was held over the Martin Luther King weekend from January 17-20, 2014, at the Sonesta Hotel, 1800 Market St, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
GM Alexander Fishbein finished in sole 1st place thanks to a last round victory over FM Trung Nguyen. Fishbein finished with 6/7, collecting $2,092 for his long weekend’s efforts. GM Mikheil Kekelidze finished in 2nd place just a half point behind Fishbein, pocketing $1163.
