Wijk final round: an exciting farewell
28.01.2008 – The players chose a nice way to say farewell to the spectators: almost all the games were hard fought, two of them were decided. The two leaders drew their games after prolonged and balanced fights. Anand obtained a promising attack against Kramnik's Petroff but failed to take advantage of the favourable situation and had to content himself with a draw in 61 moves.
Both the leading players, Levon Aronian and Magnus Carlsen, drew their games and are joint winners of the tournament, half a point ahead of the field. Behind them Anand in third and Radjabov in fourth. In the B Group it was Movsesian ahead of Short and Bacrot, and in the C Group young Fabiano Caruna two full points ahead of everyone else.
