The seven Bulgarian players achieved one win and six draws in the fourth round of the European Men’s Individual Classical Chess Championship in Petrovac, Montenegro.
Ivan Cheparinov, who started with three wins in his first three games, failed to win for the first time. With the black pieces, he drew with Yağız Kaan Erdomüş from Turkey and with an asset of 3.5 points shares the third position in the ranking. At the top with the maximum 4 points are the German Frederin Zvane and the Spaniard Maxim Chigaev.
With an asset of 3 points is Tsvetan Stoyanov, who with the black pieces defeated another representative of Turkey – Ruzgar Odabasu. This was also the only complete Bulgarian success of the day, as the rest of the competitors drew.

Yordanov has 1.5 points. There are also Todor Spirov and Metodi Stoynev, who tied with Maksim Goroshkov from Slovenia and Piotr Brzezina from Poland, respectively.
