Biel Masters: Bluebaum wins Chess960 section

Five rounds against the other players in the Masters, followed by two rounds against players from the Generations Challenge – that was the format of the ACCENTUS Chess960 Masters tournament. After seven rounds, Matthias Bluebaum and Aydin Suleymanli finished tied for first place on 4½ points. However, Bluebaum had the edge thanks to his superior tiebreak score. Third place went to Jose Martinez. The standings were extremely close: just half a point separated Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus in fifth from the top scorers. The results of this tournament serve as the tiebreak for the Masters Triathlon. | Photo: Biel Chess Festival
