The gymnasium at Alberto Aguilera 23 has been the gathering place of the Madrid Chess Championship, a tournament that broke the record of participation and had an attendance of more than 90 chess players.

Three chess players from Comillas won the Rector's Trophy:

1. Víctor Oliveira Sánchez

2. Carlos Dorronsoro Málaga

3. Félix García Fernández


In the men's individual category we had a close game:
