Morelia-Linares tournament is over! Yahoo!!!

14 round tournament is over! Following it took much more energy than any other recent event. First of all, because games from the first part started too late. Secondly, because second part of the tournament was rich in interesting games.

I am happy that my prediction about Morozevich play fullfiled. And we have seen his outstanding performance in Linares. A man who finished last in Mexico and first in Spain probably will be invited to many more tournaments if this level.

Anand has showed his class by taking use of each and all opportunities given by his opponents. Unfortunately, he looked quite tired on photos. I am afraid that his results may decline in the future.

Carlsen has surprised everyone with his heroic result. Unfortunately, I suspect that not everything is clear. He has defeated players who used risky moves (Ivanchuk, Morozevich)... I don't know. Just a feeling that no one can jump from last place to second just in few weeks... Next tournaments will prove whether it was a logical result of young Norwegian or not.

The rest of the players simply can't be happy of their result. Especially Aronian who won last years event...

To be continued
