The 3rd edition of the El Llobregat Open Chess Tournament 2022 takes place from November 30 to December 8 in Sant Boi de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain gathering 50 grandmasters, 44 international masters and a total of 172 players fighting for the prize fund of 29.500eur.

Hans Niemann,m who has been in the limelight of the cheating drama for the last couple of months, is one of the top seeds of the event. After four played rounds, 19-year-old Niemann emerged as the sole leader of the event as the only player with the perfect 4/4 score. After defeating IM David Fitzsimons, GM Karen Movziszian, IM Nikolizi Kacharava and GM Daniil Yuffa, Niemann earns 9.7 rating points, and crosses 2700 on the live rating list. A group of 11 players is trailing by half a point and Hans Niemann faces Kirill Alekseenko in today’s fifth round of the event. Follow the games live

While competing in the El Llobregat Open 2022, Magnus Carlsen, chess.com, and Daniel Rensch filed a motion to dismiss Hans Niemann’s complaints from the lawsuit in which Niemann seeks a total of 400 million USD in damages from “Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen aka Magnus Carlsen, Play Magnus as Play Magnus Group, Chess.com LLC, Daniel Rensch aka Danny Rensch, and Hikaru Nakamura”.
