Jun-07-14  diagonal: Rakhmanov on the road:

# April 2013: Rakhmanov claims <15th Dubai Open 2013> ahead of Volkov, Kuzubov, Laznicka, Ehlvest, Istratescu, Ivan Sokolov, Akopian, Kryvoruchko, Sargissian, Ganguly, Gupta, Edouard, Iordachescu, Ghaem Maghami, among others: http://www.chessdom.com/aleksandr-r...

# November 2013: Rakhmanov takes <3rd Panama Chess Open 23013> ahead of IM Camilo Gomez Garrido, Cori, Bruzon, Ipatov, Tiviakov, among others: http://www.chessdom.com/gm-aleksand...

# June 2014: Rakhmanov impressive clear first at the traditional <44th Bosna in Sarajevo>, played since 2010 as an Open (swiss system), ahead of Sebenik, Kozul, Stevic, Palac, Gleizerov, Yilmaz, Dutch junior Benjamin Bok, who lost his last round game, and legendary Bojan Kurajica, among others: http://skbosna.ba/index.php/en/ and http://www.chessdom.com/aleksandr-r...

<GM Aleksandr Rakhmanov (RUS) was convincing in Open A (for players rated over 2300 ELO). The Russian Grandmaster emerged clear winner with 7/9 points, performing at 2773 ELO.

The runner-up GM Matej Sebenik (SLO) took the silver with 6,5/9 points, leaving the nearest followers half a point behind.

Third place was shared in a three-way tie by the Croatian GMs Zdenko Kozul, Hrvoje Stevic and Mladen Palac, but the former European champion for men Zdenko Kozul took the bronze on superior tie-break score> (Source: www.chessdom.com)

• Historical note: <Bosna, Sarajevo> is lasting since 1957 (with a break due to Balkan conflicts), that means now the third longest major recurring Chess Tournament after <Hastings> (today also an Open), since 1920/21 and <Wijk aan Zee / Beverwijk>, since 1938; and ahead of the Capablanca Memorial (mostly played in Havanna), since 1962. (Not counting pure Open never to be a closed all-play-all Invitation Tournament, such as the <U.S. Open Chess Championship>, at various places, lasting annually since 1900).

Rakhmanov seems wedded to the English opening repertoire as White. Some instructive games in there.
