Excellent finish by Baadur Jobava!

I was complaining earlier how boring is 2nd Samba Cup tournament. Thanks to tough Georgian GM Baadur Jobava we saw some excitement in the last round. He managed to win the game against GM Kamil Miton to overthrow him from the first place. This was bad tournament for the European champion GM Nisipeanu who finished 9th, while GM Ivanchuk tied for 6th place.
