The 36th edition of the Roquetas Chess Open was played from 2-7 January at the Hotel Bahía Serena, Roquetas de Mar, Spain. The event featured Open and U2150 tournaments with the total prize fund of 10.000 euros (8.500 euros for Open tournament and 1.500 euros for the U2150 competition).

GM Li Di (China, 2544) continued with the phenomenal play and won his second consecutive tournament in Spain. Li Di emerged as the Winner of the event after taking first place in Lorca Chess Open 2024 which concluded just a few days before the start of the Roquetas Chess Open 2025. GM Li Di scored 7.5 points to become the sole Winner of the event, half a point ahead of six players who tied for second place with 7 points each.

IM Matthew Wadsworth (England, 2473) had the best tiebreaks to finish second, GM Xiangyu Xu (China, 2611) came third, GM Vitaly Sivuk (Sweden, 2493) took fourth place, IM Minghui Xu (China, 2428) was fifth, IM Diego Macias Pino (Spain, 2491) came sixth, and FM Alejandro Domingo Nunez (Spain, 2316) finished the event on the seventh place.

A dramatical finish marked the U2150 Championship as three players tied for the top scoring 6 points each: Francisco Javier Barranco Cara (Spain, 2133), Jose Manuel Morales Carmona (Spain, 2098) and Miguel Sanjuan Garcia (Spain, 1982). With the best tiebreak criteria, Barranco Cara won gold, Morales Carmona came second and Sanjuan Garcia finished third.
