RESULTS:
2016 GAYP World Title Match, 8-15 July – Michele Borghetti (Italy) defeated Sergio Scarpetta (Italy) for the GAYP World Title, with one win, zero losses, and 23 draws. Both players missed wins.
GM Sergio Scarpetta won the GAYP Title in 2014, defeating the legendary GM Ron King (BAR) in a close match. In 2015, the 3-Move World Champion GM Michele Borghetti won the GAYP Qualification Tournament in Knighton, Wales to become the official challenger. Michele will try to become the World Champion in both GAYP and 3-Move, a feat only had been reached once so far by Ron King. One month prior to this match, GM Sergio Scarpetta in turn won the 2016 World Qualifier in 3-Move to qualify for a 3-Move World Championship match against Borghetti in 2017. This GAYP WTM was for 24 games. In case of a draw, the World Champion, Sergio Scarpetta will retain his title by virtue of being undefeated, but a moot point since GM Michele Borghetti is now both World Champion of both GAYP and 3-Move.
