Eduardo Iturrizaga wins 33rd Benasque International on tiebreak

Posted on

Venezuelan grandmaster Eduardo Iturrizaga finished first at the 33rd Benasque International Open after edging Israeli GM Maxim Rodshtein and Bulgarian GM Aleksander Delchev on tiebreaks. All of them finished on 8 points out of 10.

The battle between Iturrizaga and Rodshtein in the first board of the last round finished with a quick GM-draw, which eventually favored the Venezuelan on the tiebreak score.

All three winners of this Open have an Elo rating that overpasses the 2600 points, which confirms how strong this event really is. Among the first ten places, no player without a GM title managed to squeeze in.

With eight points, in shared fifth place, finished Peruvian GM Jorge Cori and last year winner GM Dan Zoler from Israel. A large group of 15 players finished right below, tied on 7.5 points.

In the rest of games of the last round, we saw very intense games, all of them lasting more than forty moves and even getting to sixty, such as the game that face Peruvian star Julio Granda with Italian GM Danielle Vocaturo.

Spaniard Daniel Forcen was half a point short of getting his final GM norm, but his great performance was enough to pass the 2500 Elo barrier for the first time in his career.
