Awonder Liang won the 62nd Rubinstein Memorial in Polanica-Zdrój with 5½/9, finishing half a point ahead of four players. The American recovered from a third-round loss to top seed Vladimir Fedoseev and secured first place by beating Szymon Gumularz in the final round. Jan Malek had entered round nine as the sole leader, but his defeat against Jakub Seemann opened the door for Liang to take the title outright. | Photo: Lennart Ootes / Saint Louis Chess Club (2024)
