Mersin Open (Turkey) 2021 November 16-21

[MichaelBaron]

A modest AUD1100 for the week's labour.

This is exactly why professional chess is not really a serious occupation for many. On the positive side, on top of the modest money - not so modest increase in reating points getting close to 2600.

On the way he has been playing he certainly deserves a rating over 2600, hopefully his form will continue and he gets there soon.

Temur concedes his last Round 9 game (to FM Irakli Akhvlediani of Georgia) but has won the tournament regardless. Well done Temur.

the opponent was very motivated as he needed to win to score an IM norm. Great attitude by Temur not to play for a draw as white in the last round when draw was obviously a fine result.
Well done indeed!
