The 53rd Mar del Plata Chess Open was held from 23-30 March in Mar del Plata, Argentina, with the participation of nearly 300 players who fought for the prize fund of 2.000.000 Argentine pesos (~2,350 USD).

GM Johan-Sebastian Christiansen (Norway, 2633) emerged as the sole Winner of the event with the score of 8/9 points. Heading into the last round, Johan-Sebastian Christiansen was half a point ahead of the runner-ups and decided to go for a quick draw securing himself at least a tied first place.

GM Diego Flores (Argentina, 2530), GM Leonardo Tristan (Argentina, 2521), IM Willyam Espinoza Palomino (Peru, 2400) and CM Matias Jaque Gutierrez (Chile, 2173) tied for second place, scoring 7.5 points each.

WIM Maria Jose Campos (Argentina, 2224) was second with 5.5 points, and WGM Claudia Amura (Argentina, 2207) had the same score but slightly lower tiebreaks to be the third-ranked female player.
