This tournament saw an impressive run of Alexander Morozevich who won blindfold section with 9.5 points out of 11 rounds. Unfortunately, this was not enough for first place in overall standings as Alexander collected only 5 points in rapid games. As usual, Viswanathan Anand won rapid section with 8.0/11 to catch Morozevich on first place tie.
Francisco Vallejo Pons must be in excellent physical shape. Amber was something like his 4th tournament in a row, yet he took high 3rd place in a very tough competition.
