1st Metropolitan Chess International
Mark Crowther - Sunday 11th September 2011
1st Metropolitan International. Check out the website for videos of the event. | http://www.metrochessla.com/
Favourite Michael Adams won his second event in a row scoring 7.5/9 a point clear of Loek van Wely amongst others in the first Metropolitan FIDE Invitational. Ankit Gupta and the Metropolitan Chess Club in Los Angeles have organised many rated events this year but this was by far and away the strongest. Sadly whilst videos were produced, games were not published during the event. My thanks to Jack Peters for entering and sending the games.
