GM Laylo tops 2011 Aeroflot Chess Open B

Congratulations to GM Darwin Laylo for a superb 7/9 performance to tie for first with two other GMs in the highly competitive Aeroflot Open 2011 (B) that was held in Moscow, Russia from February 7 to 18.

Overall, Laylo settled for second place after the tie-breaks, just behind the eventual champion GM Tigran Kotanjian of Armenia and ahead of third placer GM Nikolai Kabanov of Russia.

Laylo fashioned out a spectacular +5-0=4 performance to finish the tournament with a TPR of 2694! For his second place finish, GM Darwin will bring home EUR 6,000 (roughly over P350,000) in prize.

Again, congratulations, GM Darwin!
