Alexandra Kosteniuk's Chess Blog for Daily Chess News and Trivia (c) 2013

Hi everyone, 

Cuban Grandmaster Lazaro Bruzon continued the string of successes in Canada as he clinched first place in the 2013 Quebec Chess Open 2013 that finished tonight in Montréal.

The last round win against IM Leonid Gerzhoy pushed him ahead of Grandmasters Elshan Moradiabadi and Eduardas Rozentalis who drew their game on the top board.

Bruzon concluded the tournament with 7,0/9 points, while Rozentalis, Moradiabadi and Anton Kovalyov shared the second place with 6,5 points each. Earlier this month Bruzon won the Edmonton Chess International.

The Quebec Open Championship 2013 was held on 21-28th July at the beautiful venue in Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf, 3200 Côte Sainte-Catherine, Montréal. The tournament was played in six sections: Invitational, Open, Section A (U2200), Section B (U1700), Section C (U1300 and unrated) and Mini-COQ.
