Westford Open FIDE Won by GM Fidel Coralles Jimenez Ahead of GM Alexander Ivanov

Alex Relyea's FIDE Rated Westford Open was held this past weekend. The FIDE Open section was won by now Boston based Cuban GM Fidel Corrales Jimenez with Russian born GM Alexander Ivanov in second place. Our own Vermont based NM David Carter finished third after drawing with GM Jimenez in the final round. Yours truly finished toward the rear of the U2000 FIDE bus managing one draw and an almost draw in the first round against eventual U2000 FIDE winner Peter Pashkov, a native of Moscow living in the US since 1991.
