The 9th Mediterranean Men & Women’s Chess Championships 2014 took place from 2-10th September at the Atlantica Caldera Creta Paradise Hotel in Chania, Crete, Greece, sponsored by Kydon Sports Club and Krommydakis Group of Companies, and co-organized by Mediterranean Chess Association, Region of Crete and Municipality of Platanias.
2014 Mediterranean Men & Women’s trophies went to Egypt after the Egyptian players GM Bassem Amin and WGM Khaled Mona emerged winners.
GM Bassem Amin and GM Vasilios Kotronios (Greece) finished on 7,5/9 points, but Amin prevailed on a better tie-break score.
