1st International Open Club Caissa Guatemala
Quick 1-Minute Summary
Another tough 9-round tournament held over 5 days! Guatemala does not organize many strong Opens, so it is not surprising that 134 players from 15 countries took advantage of this opportunity to combine chess and tourism, including 10 GM’s , 7 IM’s and 8 M’s.
The prize fund is $8k ($2.5k for first prize), time control is 90 minutes for the whole game (plus 30′).
