The first two rounds of the A-Open are available for download as PGN files.

45 participants and some guests gathered at the Ardeyschoppen on Tuesday evening for the rapid chess tournament. The two players from the main match of the Sparkassen Chess Trophy 2024, Elisabeth Pähtz and Dinara Wagner, were present at the start and opening of the evening.

Not Anton Korobov, Frederik Svane or Krishnan Sasikiran are leading the A-Open of the International Dortmund Chess Days after four rounds, but FM Nadav Zemach (2384) after his victory over Christopher Wojin Yoo (2616)!

An eventful third day of the tournament ended in Dortmund with a second draw between the two best German chess players. National player Frederik Svane has shown good form so far at the Sparkassen Chess Trophy.
