Three way tie for the top of the Baku Chess Open 2023

by L'immortale

Baku Crystal Hall, an indoor arena where the 2016 Chess Olympiad was held, hosted the 2023 Baku Chess Open festival dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Azerbaijani national leader Heydar Aliyev. The event was held from May 3-12 with the total prize fund of 50.000 USD and participation of more than 120 players from 15 countries.

After 9 played rounds, three players emerged on the top scoring 7 points each: GM Leon Luke Mendonca (India, 2603), GM Aleksandar Indjic (Serbia, 2618) and GM Vladislav Kovalev (FIDE, 2612).

It was a last-round drama as GM Mahammad Muradli (Azerbaijan, 2531) lost the final game against Indjic and blew away his sole lead. Mendonca and Kovalev won their games against IM Vuppala Prraneeth (India, 2442) and GM Tornike Sanikidze (Georgia, 2575) to join Indjic in the co-lead and a tie for the 12.000 USD first prize. Tiebreak criteria favored Mendonca who clinched title, Indjic came second and Kovalev finished the event in the third position. Replay the games here
