LINARES TOURNAMENT: ALEXANDER GRISHCHUK - CHAMPION
Linares chess tournament is over with the perfect victory of Russian
GM Alexander Grishchuk. In the end of the tournament both Grishchuk
and Ivanchuk had the same amount of points but due to his extra points
Grishchuk was announced the champion.
Note that all the matches in 13th round ended in draw. Russian chess
player persisted the tension after he won masters like Levon Aronian,
Theimur Radjabov and Wang Yue. Armenian GM Levon Aronian competed with
Grishchuk.
`Linares 2009' left nothing remarkable as the chess players did not
express their strong sides. Vesselin Topalov's absence might be
noticeable while he was competing with Gata Kamsky. Vladimir Kramnik
was also absent, after the birth of his child he devoted himself to
his family care.
