Grandmaster\u00a0Mads Andersen<\/strong>\u00a0from Skanderborg Skakklub became Danish champion for the 3rd time on Saturday.\u00a0The winner repeated his success of 2016 and 2017.<\/p>

The Danish Chess Championship took place in Svendborg from October 09 to October 17.\u00a0The event should have been held in the spring but due to the epidemiological situation was postponed to the fall. The tournament became one of the strongest in the history of Denmark\u2019s chess with six GMs and the highest rated IM of the country Bj\u00f8rn M\u00f8ller participating.<\/p>

Before the final round, Mads Andersen was a full point ahead of the two closest competitors\u00a0Bj\u00f8rn M\u00f8ller Ochsner\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Allan Stig Rasmussen<\/strong>\u00a0but faced his young clubmate Jonas Bjerre with Black. Bjerre put some pressure on the leader but Andersen was defending with precision and eventually reached a draw and clinched the title. \u00a0<\/p>

Bj\u00f8rn M\u00f8ller Ochsner<\/strong>\u00a0(pictured above) came second with 6 points out of 9. In order to complete his second GM norm, he had to win his last round game against Jesper S\u00f8nderg\u00e5rd Thybo and was up to the task. \u00a0<\/p>
