No less than 22 GMs and 14 IMs have gathered in Livigno, Italian Alps, for the International Livigno Chess Open. The 2nd edition of this tournament has a relevant success, with a total of 90 participants. The organizers are really satisfied by this great result.
There are 54 players taking part in the Open A tournament; among them 18 with an Elo higher than 2500 and 3 with an Elo higher than 2600. (Full lists bellow)
Altogether there are 24 nations represented from all over the world: Europe, Asia (India), Northern and Southern America.
This great achievement was made possible thanks to a few local Hotels, who have ‘adopted’ a GM each.
