2nd Batavia Amsterdam Chess Tournament

28.02.2010 Dutch FM Christov Kleijn has won the 2nd Batavia Amsterdam Chess Tournament, also called the Max Euwe Challenge. The ten player Round Robin tournament took place 19 - 28 February in Cafe Batavia 1920, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Khosla Shiven, a 14-year-old from India, finished second on 6.0 points. He made an IM norm. Khosla Shiven is the 2009 Asian Youth Chess Champion U14. Dutch IM Xander Wemmers finished third (5.5 points). The tournament is the brainchild of Bas Beekhuizen (chess photographer) and sponsor Peter Tames (Cafe Batavia 1920). In 2010 the Max Euwe Centre joined as a co-sponsor. The first edition (2009) was won by Dutch junior Robin Van Kampen and GM Ilan Manor.
