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.

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.

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.

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.
