Iniyan wins 27th Creon Open 2023, Bharath Subramaniyam second

Iniyan's second triumph in France this year

GM Bharath Subramaniyam H was the sole leader heading into the final round 7/8. GM Iniyan P was the only player trailing him by a half point at 6.5/8. Bharath drew against IM Loic Travadon (FRA) and Iniyan defeated IM Alfonso Jerez Perez (ESP) to become the champion.

Iniyan - Arthur, Round 2

GM Iniyan P (2525) made an interesting knight sacrifice 16.Nxf7! It does not give White an immediate advantage. What it does is, White gets a long-term initiative. The positional advantage eventually translated into a decisive one. 16...Rxf7 17.Rxf7 Kxf7 18.Qh5+ Kf8 19.Ref1+ Nef6 20.Qxh7 b5 21.Bd3 Nxe3 only helped White 22.Rf3 Ned5 23.Bg6 Nf4? 24.Qh8+ Ng8 25.d5 and things completely shifted into White's favor.

A total of 113 players including 5 GMs, 6 IMs and a WIM took part from eight countries across the world in the Open A (>1600) category. The tournament was organized by Lauron Wesley from 31st July to 6th August 2023 at Salle Omnisports Ulli Senger in Creon, France. The nine-round Swiss league tournament had a time control of 90 min. for 40 moves then 30 min. QPF with 30 sec. by move from the first move.
