 Bulgarian
Super Grandmaster Vesselin Topalov took the Bali rapid title ahead of
favorite Vishy Anand with a 7/10 score. Topalov defeated Polgar,
Mamedyarov, Karjakin and Hillarp Persson and drew the rest to clinch
the title.
Anand, who is in fine
nick, won three games and remained undefeated at the second place with
6.5 points. Baku boy, Radjabov shared the second spot with Anand
logging 6.5 points.
Defending Champion
Judit Polgar, had an awful tournament and finished with 4.0 points,
with just lower ranked Spaniard Alfonso Romero Holmes, 2.5 points, behind
her.
The tournament lost a
bit of its luster, as former World Champion Anantoly Karpov, withdrew
after his request to delay his first round game, wasn't heeded to.
Karpov flew in directly from Brazil, when a flight delay soured his
tournament plans.
