Did you know that @DGukesh played in the first edition of the Llobregat Open? The future World Champion was just 13 years and six months old when he visited us — the youngest living Grandmaster in the world at the time. He finished the tournament in 19th place.

Compartiendo memorias de nuestra primera edición, en 2019, cuando tuvimos el honor de que @El_Divis y Amee Avila nos acompañaran. Nuestro Open no habría crecido en la manera en que lo ha hecho si no fuera por el generoso apoyo de tantos amigos en nuestros inicios!
