The 2011 Poland Chess Championship was played from 12th to 20th February in the Hotel Novotel Centrum in Warsaw. 22 players participated in the Men's Championship which had a format of 9-round Swiss event. 10 Ladies competed in the round robin Women's Championship. Two top seeds in Women's event, WGM Jolanta Zawadzka and GM Monika Socko, both signed victories in the final round, but Zawadzka maintained the half-point edge and claimed the title with a total of 7.0 points. Socko remained second with 6.5 points, while WGM Karina Szczepkowska-Horowska came in third with 5.5 points. GM Mateusz Bartel convincingly won the Men's Championship by finishing full point ahead of the opposition, thus taking his second consecutive title and third overall. Earlier he was the Champion in 2006 and 2010. A small reminder that GM Constantin Lupulescu achieved the same feat in Romania few days ago. Official website
