There are four chess players will compete for the top spot in the ninth edition of the International Chess Tournament "Memorial Narciso Yepes", Sergey Fedorchuk of Ukraine, David Lariño of Spain, Branco Damljanovic of Serbia and Russia's Alexander Rustemov.

These four players share the lead with six points each.

The tiebreaker system clearly favors a Fedorchuk, who always make the same result as his rivals will be proclaimed champion for the second consecutive Lorca.

David Lariño, the only Spanish chess player with a chance of winning in this year, managed to get into the group of favorites after winning in a magnificent game at number three ranking in the tournament, and the best player currently in Canada, Kevin Spraggett, 2591 points ELO FIDE.

Galician will face on the last day to Fedorchuk, hoping to win the tournament and a surprise addition to achieving his first grandmaster norm.

Rustemov and Damljanovic, two Grand Masters, live an exciting duel in which they should go for the win from the start and wait for the failure of Fedorchuk.

A half a point behind and with a remote chance of winning the tournament, although it should produce a carambola, Vladimir Epishin fall, Alfredo Giaccio, Aleksa Strikovic and Mikhail Ivanov.

Giaccio, International Master Lorca Argentina but living in several years, got some important tables to Fedorchuk and only needs half a point to achieve its main objective, to be Grand Master.

His opponent will be the Estonian grandmaster Aleksandr Veingold, a rival which is a priori inferior to the South American chess.

In the fight for the trophy for best local player, José Antonio Bautista Mendez with three points and a half is the favorite, but remains a half-point Alejandro Picazo, Sergio Germain Rabal and San Mateo.
