34th Andorra Open
The Andorra Open, a traditional tournament in the heart of the Pyrenees, is celebrating its 34th edition from 3-11 August 2016. The favourite for the 9-round Swiss tournament is Peruvian GM Julio Granda, who will try to recover after two disappointing events saw the 49-year-old drop back from a 2699 rating.
The prize fund is 10,000 euros, with 2,100 for the winner. The time control is 90 minutes for 40 moves then 30 minutes to the end of the game, with a 30-second increment from move 1. Official website: www.escacsandorra.com
