GM Marc`andria Maurizzi wins Djerba International Chess Festival 2025 (Masters)

Image
French Grandmaster (GM) Marc'Andria Maurizzi won the Djerba International Chess Festival 2025 (Masters). The winner scored 7.5 out of 9 points, a remarkable result. There was significant interest in the performance of 12-year-old Faustino Oro. The Argentine player lost his first five games and ultimately scored only 1.5 points (three draws), finishing in last place. This tournament was clearly too strong for Oro. Rk.

Image
Deep Sengupta ( source ) Grandmaster Deep Sengupta neither had the highest ranking (starting number 6) nor had much success recently, and yet he was the best in the Najdorf Memorial.

The Miguel Najdorf Memorial will take place from the 11th to the 19th of July in Warsaw, Poland as part of the Warsaw Chess Festival 2023. The format is a 9-round Swiss. The time control is 90 minutes for 40 moves, followed by 30 minutes for the rest of the game with a 30-second increment beginning from move 1.
