GM Vladimir Georgiev (36) of Macedonia became a close victor of The Open Norwegian Championship 2012 in Fagernes. He secured his honor and trophy, but had to share the prize-money with five other players also finishing at 6½ points. Bulgarian Grandmaster Vladimir Georgiev has represented Macedonia since 2002 and is a champion of both countries.
The second Norwegian Chess Festival in Fagernes was another success event with an exciting program and 250 players of various strengths and ages participating. Both the playing and living conditions at Norway’s leading new chess hotel Quality Hotel & Resort Fagernes again proved first class.
