GM Georg Meier claims American Continental Chess Championship 2023

72

GM Georg Meier (URU, 2614) emerged as the Winner of the American Continental Chess Championship 2023 which took place from 15-23 May in Juan Dolio, Dominican Republic.

Georg Meier scored impressive 9/11 points after a slow start and the score of 3.5/5. However, a native of Germany representing Urugay won five consecutive games and a draw in the last round was enough for the trophy and the first prize of 5.000 USD.

The top four finishers qualified for the 2023 FIDE World Cup, which is a part of the World Championship cycle. GM Carlos Daniel Albornoz Cabrera (CUB, 2586) and GM Fidel Corrales Jimenez (USA, 2489) tied for second with 8.5 points, each, but the Cuban grandmaster Albornoz Cabrera had better tiebreaks and clinched silver, and Corrales Jimenez won bronze. In a group of eight players who scored 8 points and tied for the fourth place, IM Josiah Stearman (USA, 2385) had best tiebreaks and took the last spot for the FIDE World Cup 2023.
