The Chess Club Brda, City of Split and Croatian Chess Federation organized the fourth edition of Split Chess Open 2014 from 16th to 23rd August 2014 at Hotel Zagreb in Split, the second-largest city in Croatia, situated on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea.
The 9-round Swiss event with a prize fund of 8.500 € hosted 184 players from 21 different countries, including 6 GMs, 9 IMs and 14 FMs.
First place was split in a four-way tie by IM Evgenij Kalegin (Russia), GM Ante Brkic (Croatia), GM Sinisa Drazic (Serbia) and GM Ante Saric (Croatia) on 7,5/9 points each.
However, the Russian player took the trophy on superior tie-break score, while Brkic emerged the best Croatian player in the tournament. Thus, Ante Brkic qualified for the Croatian Men Championship that will take place in 2015.
The 16-year-old Slovenian FM Boris Markoja achieved the first U18 prize with his 6,5/9 points. He finished unbeaten, adding 28 ELO points to his rating.
WIM Kristina Saric was the best female player with 6/9 points.
