Corus, Wijk An Zee 2010 - Round 8

January 24, 2010 in World of Chess by Claus Jensen | No comments

I was following Shirov-Carlsen which was quite interesting until they agreed on a draw in a very unclear position.

Round 8 - Sunday the 24th
V. Anand - V. Ivanchuk ½-½
A. Shirov - M. Carlsen ½-½
V. Kramnik - H. Nakamura 1-0
S. Karjakin - N. Short 1-0
L. Dominguez - L. van Wely ½-½
P. Leko - J. Smeets 1-0
F. Caruana - S. Tiviakov 1-0
1. A. Shirov 6
2. M. Carlsen
V. Kramnik		 5½
4. H. Nakamura 5
5. S. Karjakin
L. Dominguez
P. Leko
V. Ivanchuk		 4½
9. V. Anand 4
10. F. Caruana 3½
11. S. Tiviakov
N. Short		 2½
13. L. van Wely 2
14. J. Smeets 1½

In a vote on chess.com before the tournament started I predicted Kramnik would win the event and it seems that “Krammy” is finding his form at the right time :)
