About the International Chess Festival

The small Spanish seaside town of Benidorm, a few miles up the road from Alicante, hosted its 6th International Chess Festival earlier this month. The festival consisted of seven open tournaments designed for different skill levels, ages and time controls. Hundreds of players representing dozens of countries competed, many of them participating in multiple tournaments.

The highlight of the festival was a one-day visit by World Champion Viswanathan Anand, during which he simultaneously played the white pieces against 35 worthy opponents, scoring 29 wins against one loss to Franz Josef Becking (2049) of Belgium.
