2009
******************************************************************************************
CORUS / Wijk aan Zee, 2009
Six players were tied for the lead going into the final round. Only Sergey Karjakin - who at age 12, (in 2002), became the youngest GM ever - managed to win to win his match-up, and thus won this year's edition of this Super-GM tournament. Three big guns ... GM's L. Aronian, T. Radjabov and S. Movsesian tied for second through fourth places, (in the "A" group). Other notable participants were Kamsky, Ivanchuk, Adams and Morozevich.
Nigel Short had the "B" group locked up, until a last round loss cost him the title. The little known So took first in the "C" group.
---> The official website. The CB story (on the last round). The news report from TWIC. The page from "Chess Games" on this event.
