Norm chances in the last round
af Tom Skovgaard     19/5-2019

Danish Jens Ramsdal can achieve his first IM-norm if he wins his last round game against GM Vladimir Burmakin!

And FM Can Ertan can achieve an IM-norm by drawing or winning his last round game against GM Boris Chatalbashev. However, Ertal already has 3 IM-norms, and has also been above 2400 in rating, so he is looking forward to be nominated IM by FIDE later in this year.
