        And I thought Shirov was over the hill.. good that I was wrong..

        Shirov plays exciting chess and isn’t afraid of losing. We should have more players like him!!

        I was there.

        Mamedyarov started well, but could not repeat last year’s exploit; in all 3 tournaments he started to panic in round 7 and spoiled almost everything.
        Grishchuk should have been first in the main one, time run out when he had mate in 3 in last round, last game of tournament, only got draw: in fact, justice, he won too many games (in all 3 tourneys) with one second left on clock.
        Anand and Polgar only played the main one, too passive; Anand’s kind and fast draw against Karpov was not ambitious at all; Judith also got a bit tired, lack of energy seemed to me.
        Ivantchuk was very good, he won 8.5/9 the rapid one (3min+2sec/move), that was a fantastic day for him, and only lost one against Shirov in the main tourney, round 8: Shirov’s Kngiht move was just splendid.
        Just after winning Shirov said to me and my neighbour it was the first time ever he could clearly win a game against Ivantchuk.
        You could feel in his eyes that he was proud and achieved something great.

        The top 3
        Shirov, Grishchuk and Ivantchuk.

        3 more outsiders, very regular in all tourneys:
        Mamedyarov, Milov and Fressinet

        Just to say that these 6 players have played all 3 tournaments, and their performance is even greater.
        Others chose to play only in the morning session (main one) and did not perform in the same way.
