Superbet Chess Classic Romania 2023
Mark Crowther - Friday 5th May 2023
The Superbet Chess Classic Romania took place in Bucharest 6th to 16th May 2023. This is the first leg of the Grand Chess tour. Fabiano Caruana won the event with 5.5/9 half a point clear of Alireza Firouzja, Wesley So, Anish Giri and Richard Rapport. World Champion Ding Liren won in the final round but otherwise was subdued as was Ian Nepomniachtchi. This was really too soon after their match for either to be playing their best.
