Faustino Oro looking for first GM norm in Punta del Este

From 14 to 20 March, the Hotel del Lago hosts the Punta del Este Masters, a closed double round-robin tournament bringing together four Grandmasters and two International Masters from Spanish-speaking countries. Among them, the young Argentinean Faustino Oro, aged 11, and the Mexican Sion Galaviz, aged 19, will try to score the necessary points to obtain GM status. The event is part of the Punta del Este International Chess Festival, which will include open tournaments and promotional activities. | Photo: David Llada
