Hi everyone,
Alexander Areshchenko has won the 2012 edition of the Botvinnik Chess Memorial in St. Petersburg, Russia. Areshchenko finished with 7,0/9 along with seven other chess players – Valerij Popov, Vadim Zvjaginsev, Evgeny Romanov, Ernesto Inarkiev, Ildar Khairullin, Boris Kharchenko, and Maxim Matlakov, but the Ukranian Grandmaster won the title on better tiebreak.
Chessdom news report adds: This is yet another success for GM Areshchenko, who recently got the silver medal in the strong Ukranian Championship and before that won the Prasvanath Open in 2011. The success at the Botvinnik Memorial is especially valid as the field included a total of 223 players. Many of these were Grandmasters and International Masters.
The International Chess festival “M. Botvinnik Memorial 2012″ was organized by the St. Petersburg Chess Federation, which will also hold the “M. Chigorin Memorial 2012″ October 25 to November 4 at the Park Hotel in St. Petersburg.
