GM Daniel Fridman will be top seeded at Vicente Sebastian Chess Memorial that will take place 19-20 July in Menorca, Spain. The German champion will have to play for the first place among strong competition GM Neuris Delgado Ramirez, GM Radek Kalod, GM Stefan Djuric, GM Ramon Mateo, etc.
IM Anna Zatonskih will be the top women chess player at the competition. This will probably be the last event for IM Zatonskih before the start of the World Women’s Chess Championship in Nalchik, Kabardino-Balkaria. As we informed you yesterday, IM Zatonskih starts against Tea Bosboom Lanchava.
The total prize fund of the competition is 3000+ eur. The time control is 25 min per game and the tournament is 9 round Swiss.

Any idea if ties will be broken by an Armageddon game?
Aw come on!
This will not be the last event before the WWC. She is playing in Curacao at the end of July.
She is also going to be the Scuba Diving Chess Champion there.

“She is also going to be the Scuba Diving Chess Champion there.”
Is that similar to the underwater veined hotdog eating and chess competition held in San Fransisco every year?
Just 3000 Euros?
Are they going to throw in some additional prize like maybe a ham sandwich?
Wow, chess prizes aren’t what they used to be…
Response to kerry liles: Yes…an arm-wrestling match!
