Matthieu Cornette impressive in Barcelona
A 10-player closed GM tournament was organized in Barcelona on February 16-24. Former French national champion Matthieu Cornette finished in clear first place on 7/9. His countryman, 13-year-old Marc Andria Maurizzi, got sole second place and obtained his second GM norm — Maurizzi is still in time to become France’s youngest-ever grandmaster. | Photo: Echiquier Bordelais
