Aravindh Chithambaram wins 41st Villa de Benasque Open 2022, Raunak Sadhwani third - ChessBase India

Ten players including GM Aravindh Chithambaram and GM Raunak Sadhwani scored 8/10 each. Aravindh, GM Robert Hovhannisyan (ARM) and Raunak were placed first, second and third according to tie-breaks at 41st Benasque International Open 2022. Aravindh made a good recovery after a seventh round loss against GM Vojtech Plat (CZE). He won the last two crucial games to finish first. The final round win featuring a queen sacrifice is truly a fantastic one. The solid unbeaten performance for Raunak just days before 44th Chess Olympiad is surely going to give him the much-needed momentum for the biggest stage.
