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

Hello everyone,

The 46th Annual Liberty Bell Open was held over the Martin Luther King weekend from January 17-20, 2014, at the Sonesta Hotel, 1800 Market St, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

GM Alexander Fishbein finished in sole 1st place thanks to a last round victory over FM Trung Nguyen. Fishbein finished with 6/7, collecting $2,092 for his long weekend’s efforts. GM Mikheil Kekelidze finished in 2nd place just a half point behind Fishbein, pocketing $1163.

Despite the recent weather conditions in the Northeast, this year’s Liberty Bell Open attracted over 400 competitors leading to an increase in the advertised prize fund of over 16%!

The final standings with prizes for all sections are now posted at the official website
