A fantastic run of form in the later part of the tournament proved rewarding for the Spanish GM Del Rio De Angelis Salvador as he convincingly won the 23rd edition of Montcada Open Chess Tournament. Del Rio finished with a total score of 7.5 and remained undefeated throughout this 9-round event.
The second place was bagged by GM Narciso Dublan who also remained undefeated while notching up 7 points. Meanwhile, as many as 6 players, including Indian IM Thejkumar, finished joint 3rd with 6.5/9. On the tie-breaks, Thejkumar finished a creditable 5th in the final rankings.
