The 28th International Open Cappelle la Grande was held on 3-10th March 2012 at the Palais des arts in Cappelle la Grande, France. 497 players participated.
After nine rounds of interesting play, with the top games being broadcasted on the Chessdom/Chessbomb platform, five players shared the first place with 7 points each: Indians Pentala Harikrishna and Parimarjan Negi, Georgian Tornike Sanikidze, local GM Tigran Gharamian and the late comer with a last round victory Martyn Kravtsiv from Ukraine.
Pentala Harikrishna was declared winner on best tie-break score. A wonderful achievement for the Grandmaster who recently won the Tata Steel B Tournament.
