The 19th International Chess Tournament “In Memory of Georgy Agzamov,” honoring the first Grandmaster of Uzbekistan, concluded today at the International Chess Academy in Tashkent.
After 10 days of intense competition involving top-tier international talent, the tournament’s top seed Grandmaster Haik Martirosyan (Armenia) emerged as the champion.
Martirosyan, entering the tournament with the highest FIDE rating of 2626, lived up to his billing by finishing with 7.5 points out of 10. While GM Artem Uskov also finished on 7.5 points, Martirosyan clinched the first-place trophy and the $10,000 main prize through superior tie-break scores.
Parallel to the main event, the Open-B group provided a massive platform for players with a FIDE rating below 2200. This section of the tournament was equally competitive, played over the same 10-round Swiss system format. With a dedicated prize fund where the winner takes home $3,000, the Open-B group highlighted the tournament’s mission to support amateurs and rising talents.
The event featured a total prize fund of $80,000, one of the most significant in the region, attracting Grandmasters from the USA, India, Armenia, and across Central Asia. Played under the Swiss system over 10 rounds, the tournament enforced a “no-draw” rule before the 30th move to ensure fighting chess.
The tournament serves as a key milestone in Uzbekistanโs broader strategy to promote chess as a mass movement ahead of the 46th World Chess Olympiad, which the country is set to host later this year.
