Y la puesta del sol, mientras las partidas del torneo están en plena marcha
Las vistas que se tienen desde la sala de juego son preciosas

Parece mentira, pero ésta es la sala de análisis

Aparte de los torneos abiertos hay más actividades, como por ejemplo exhibiciones de partidas simultáneas a cargo de grandes maestros, conferencias y torneos nocturnos de ajedrez relámpago.
Una exhibición de partidas simultáneas a cargo del prodigio estadounidense Awonder Liang
Liang tiene 13 años y es el maestro internacional más joven de la historia de EE.UU.
Tal y como suele ocurrir en los abiertos europeos, participan también muchos jugadores indios. En el abierto del grupo A son 31.
