Announcements / Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We have some announcements we'd like to make for the 2016 Salento Open.
The past three years we have had a pretty good turnout of players but 2016 we expect the best Salento Open yet! We welcome the Ukrainian GM Andryi Vovk, Russian GM Igor Naumkin, French GM Adrien Demuth, Italian IM Carlo D'Amore, and WGM Tania Sachdev. It's nice to see many players who participated in our past events are coming once again!
Two new guests: the young FM Edward Di Benedetto, and WFM Desiree Di Benedetto - we hope you will enjoy the tournament and your time in Gallipoli!
Please follow us on www.salentochessopen.it/5/guest-players/?lang=en. We will update information regarding the pre-registered every week, and hope to inform all of you about special guests! You can find all the information/pre-registered list on our website. Another point, WCM Yelizaveta Orlova will be uploading on the chess blog weekly starting in the New Year - hope you can follow each week!
To those of you who don't celebrate Christmas on the 25th - Have a great one on Jan. 7!
See you in 2016 with new updates! Have a good 2015!
