The Italian Chess Championship 2012 is currently ongoing at the NH Hotel Ambasciatori (corso Vittorio Emanuele 104) in Torino. The Championship concludes on 10th November. Twelve players will compete in the round robin tournament.
The four-time champion Fabiano Caruana – winner in 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 (in 2009 he didn’t play) – will not participate because he will play the Kings Tournament in Bucharest and then FIDE Grand Prix in Tashkent.

Alberto David returned to Italy and to the Italian Chess Federation and is now number 3 in the national elo list (1.10.2012), only one point behind Brunello.
