Shirov sure got old fast (seated to the right).
Attention!
The number 8/9 in Sochi cannot be the undisputed number one in the world.
Not Ivanchuk nor any other is champion.
Viswanathan Anand is actually the man in this position. And he deserves the respect of everybody talking about the top scene in chess today.
okay (the real one)
Two fast draws in last round (Ivanchuk-Shirov – 12 moves; Memedyarov-Kramnik – 22 moves) that appointed undisputed winner and loser: Ivanchuk – 6/9 and Shirov 3/9. Congratulations to Vassily
