Villaggio Alimini Open Tournament Update

Greetings from Italy!

Just to focus your attention on the Open tournament in “Villaggio Alimini” near Otranto (south Italy) where the young Marina Brunello (16 years old) got her first IM norm and WGM norm.

She won against GM S. Drazic and drew after 116 moves against GM Korneev.

Marina is WIM and two weeks ago she received an important honor directly from Mr Giorgio Napolitano, the President of Italian Republic. Video of the ceremony (at Quirinale) on
