27 chess players took part in the competition. The tournament was held according to the Swiss system in 7 rounds. Atabayev scored 6 wins and 1 draw, gaining 6.5 points. This was enough to get ahead of his closest pursuer, the Turkish master Tarkhan Adar, reports the publication “Turkmenistan: Golden Age”.
