Linares Final

Some shocking results at the end. Kasparov lost to Topalov. How it happened! I am still wondering. Anyhow, Kasp is winner in tie-break. Rules were:
1- most wins
2- most wins with black
3- results between tied players
4- elimination of results of lower players
5- blitz
Kasparov is winner by rule 2.

Final Points:
Kasparov, Topalov - 8
Anand - 6.5
Leko - 6
Adams - 5.5
Kasim - 4.0
Vallejo - 4.0

Corus winner Leko was only undefeated player. But he did not win any game either.

Anand started with win against Topalov in round 2. In round 11 he won against Kasim, but ended with lost to Adams in round 14. He had good chances, as he played with white against Vallejo and Adams. Both were struggling in the tournament. Against Vallejo Anand lost a comfortable position, almost lost the game.
