Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2012

Hi everyone,



The latest chess news update via Chessdom is that the Estonian Chess Championships for men and women were held concurrently on 1-7th May in Tallinn. Both groups were round robin events. Mark Lapidus, the lowest rated participant in the men’s section, is the surprising winner of the Championship having collected 6.5/9 points and leaving the opposition full point behind.
