Aeroflot Open

Aeroflot Open

The Aeroflot Open is an annual open chess tournament played in Moscow and sponsored by the airline Aeroflot. It was established in 2002 and quickly grew out to be the strongest open tournament. The first edition counted around 80 grandmasters, while in the second edition already 150 grandmasters participated. The tournament is played using the Swiss system. In recent years there has also been a B and C-class tournament.

Winners

The name of the winner is boldfaced as in some editions, a few players ended with the same overall score. In 2007 and 2008 there was a clear first winner.
