Alexander the Great Chess Open 2012 was held parallel to the World Amateur Chess Championship 2012. Four Grandmasters shared the first place with 6.5 points each – Kivanc Haznedaroglu from Turkey, Dejan Antic from Serbia, Athanasios Mastrovasilis from Greece and Petar Drenchev from Bulgaria.



Haznedaroglu, who held the sole lead until the eighth-round loss to Antic, took the winner’s trophy on best tie-break, but the money prizes were split equally. Read more on Fide.
