Peru's grandmaster Julio Ernesto Granda won the "Villa de Benasque" international chess event in Zaragoza, Spain, on Sunday.
The Peruvian grandmaster brought home the honor after beating Serbian Branco Samljanovic.
A bishop move gave Granda the tournament’s title after achieving 8.5 points.
"People paid special attention to this game, because they knew it could be the final game to win the title. I couldn't waste such an opportunity," Granda said on a local radio program.
On the other hand, the Peruvian chess player asked for more support from government bodies and corporations to continue making progress in chess.
Granda also congratulated the Peruvian chess team that won the gold medal at the 2008 Pan American Games in Argentina.

now, isn't that great?
maybe the peruvian goverment should spend more time, money and resources supporting sports that bring real glory to the country, unlike those selfish soccer players whose only goal in life is to leave the country, make some bucks and forget about the fans that supported them through out their career.
Chess, without a doubt, has been one of the few glories Peru's ever had. Congratulations to the Grand Master Granda, hopefully someone is paying attention.
