The 30th Andorra Chess Open took place from 21st to 29th July 2012 at the Hotel Sant Gothard, Ctra. d’Arinsal s/n. Erts (La Massana), Andorra.
The 9-round Swiss event was organized by the Federació d’Escacs Valls d’Andorra. The tournament was played according to FIDE rules and is valid for title norms.
Grandmasters Jon Ludvig Hammer, Kiril Georgiev, Miguel Illescas and Julen Luis Arizmendi Martinez shared the first place with 7 points each.
Hammer narrowly edged the last year champion Georgiev on tie-break (2699 vs 2695 elo performance) to be declared the tournament winner.
GM Jon Ludvig Hammer
Hammer joked on Twitter that he doesn’t know how to take the trophy home with the low-cost Ryanair.
GM Eduardo Iturrizaga preferred to compete in Andorra instead of defending the trophy in Pamplona. He finished 5th on tie-break, half a point behind the winners.
