The 49th International Dortmund Chess Days are over, the winners have been determined - 7 competitions, two German winners, three Ukrainians (!), a Dutchman and an Iranian won the tournaments.

Big favourite Viswanathan Anand went into the last round of the NC World Masters with a half-point lead. The 15th World Chess Champion did not manage more than a draw against Michael Adams.

What a strong performance: 3 wins, 3 draws mean the tournament victory for Pavel Eljanov in the grandmaster tournament of the Sparkassen Chess Trophy 2022.

Both round-robin tournaments in the Sparkassen Chess Trophy remained close until the last round. The Sportland NRW Women´s Cup was the first to be decided.
