The 11th Annual Washington International Chess Tournament was held from 10-14th August at the Rockville Hilton Hotel in Rockville, Maryland, USA.
The event was organized by the Maryland Chess Association and Mike Regan. There were three playing sections: Championship, Premier and Contenders.
The Championship Section was a 9-round Super-Swiss for players rated above 2200 US Chess or 2000 FIDE.
A total of 101 players from 16 chess federations competed in the Championship. Among them were 23 Grandmasters and 16 International Masters.
In this highly competitive field, Grandmasters Abhimanyu Mishra and Zhou Jianchao shared first place with 7/9 points each. Curiously, overnight leader Mishra opted not to play the final round, taking a half-point bye instead.
Zhou Jianchao was the only player from the chasing pack to secure a win in the final round, ultimately catching Mishra at the top of the standings. Both were awarded $4,850 each.
