The 1st Maharashtra International Open Grandmaster Chess Tournament 2022 took place from 31 May to 8 June in Pune, India.

More than 140 players from 13 countries participated in the event which was played in 11 swiss system rounds. Three players tied for the top scoring 8.5 points each and the tiebreak criteria determined the distribution of gold, silver and bronze. GM Farrukh Amonatov had the best tiebreaks and won his second consecutive open tournament after a triumph in the 13th KIIT Chess Festival. GM Aleksej Aleksandrov was second and GM Kalyan Arjun claimed third place. (scroll down for final rankings)

In the interview after the event, GM Farrukh Amonatov said he is very happy to win two consecutive open tournaments: “I am very glad I won one more tournament. It is pleasure, what else to say“. Being asked how he approaches different tournaments and games Amonatov answered: “In my opinion, if you are playing well never mind who is playing against you. You can play against a super GM and show a good result, and next round you can play against a weak player and lose the game. So it all depends on you. I am always trying to show my best“. See the interview below.

The event gathered more than 25 women players, together with the Indian National Women’s Chess Team members: IM Bhakti Kulkarni, IM Swaminathan Soumya, WGM Mary Ann Gomes and WGM Divya Deshmukh. IM Bhakti Kulkarni had the best result among female participants with 6.5 points and 32nd place on the overall rankings. WGM Divya Deshmukh was just behind with 36th place and the same score but slightly lower tiebreaks.
