IM\u00a0Martin Haubro<\/strong>\u00a0is a new champion of Denmark. The 28-year-old IM netted 7\/9 (no draws!), won his maiden national title and picked up impressive 61 rating points. With this result, Martin completed his first GM norm.<\/p>

The Danish Championship (Masters), a 10-player round-robin tournament with classical time control, took place from April 9-17 in Svendborg, a small town that has hosted this event for the last three years. The town Mayor\u00a0Bo Hansen<\/strong>\u00a0opened the tournament by making a symbolic first move\u00a0 Lars Schandorff’s – Bj\u00f8rn M\u00f8ller Ochsner.<\/p>

Danish championships are known for competitive spirit and close fights, and the 2022 edition was no exception. The future champion suffered a setback in the first-round game against GM\u00a0Jesper Sondergaard Thybo<\/strong>\u00a0(pictured below) but stormed back by scoring six straight victories and grabbed the lead. His main competitor Thybo who also had an excellent tournament, kept the pace with Haubro until the decisive final round.<\/p>

With both leaders sitting on 6\/8, Haubro was in better a position coming into the final round as he faced Martin Percivaldi with white, whereas Thybo took on Bjorn Moller Ochsner with black pieces. Haubro made a quick work of his namesake Percivaldi and had to wait for the outcome of Ochner \u2013 Thybo.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Had Jesper Sondergaard won this game, he would have become champion thanks to his first-round victory over Haubro (the first tiebreaker criteria). Thybo obtained a slight edge on the black side of the Berlin System of Ruy Lopez but did not manage to make progress, drew the longest game of the round and fell just a half-point short of the title. The runner-up completed the event unbeaten and became the only player to defeat the champion.<\/p>

The rating-favourite of the event and the only 2600+ player GM Jonas Buhl Bjerre (pictured below)\u00a0turned in a decent performance but lost two games and had to settle for bronze.<\/p>
