GM Dávid Bérczes

After his spectacular win against GM Mikhail Ulybin in yesterday's sixth round, the Hungarian grandmaster Dávid Bérczes (5 points) is now the sole leader of the Master Open. His pursuers GM Mikhail Ulybin, IM Tal Haimovich, IM Ervin Tóth, FM István Sipos and GM Sebastian Bogner (all 4.5 points) are close behind him and we can look forward to very exciting final rounds.

We can expect a tight race in the General Open as well. After six rounds four players -- Kurt Baumann, Wolfgang Heinisch, Halit Redzepi und Christian Binggeli (they all have five points) -- are in the lead.

Vorschau Fotalbum Tag 1The Winterthur Chess Week 2009 has started; 153 chess players from 13 nations compete in this year's edition of the tournament.

The Master Open already featured several surprising results: FM Hansruedi Glauser (against GM David Berczes), Benedikt Hasenohr (against GM Sebastian Bogner), Eugen Fleischer (against IM Nedeljko Kelecevic) and Heinz Ernst (against Istvan Mede) were able to hold a draw against ther nominally stronger opponents. Milan Martin (against Aljoscha Feuerstack), Harry Oesch (against the future WIM Judith Fuchs) and Markus Moripen (against Kambez Nuri) even scored the full point.

The Individual Blitz Tournament was won by IM Nedeljko Kelecevic (7 out of 9 points) from Winterthur followed by GM Falko Bindrich (7 points) und GM David Berczes (6,5 points).
