The speech at the closing banquet: “Congratulations Gentlemen! Unfortunately the financial crises prevents any prize-fund, however we give you these unique bronze replicas of old local buildings.”
Great pics. Great Chess players and great chess personalities. Leon 2009 had unforgettable moments and games. Especially the Carlsen vs Yue match and the final between Ivanchuck and the great Norweigan. It was in my opinion a tremendous and a fantastic success!
