Default Corus 2008 Final Results

Levon Aronian of Armenia and Magnus Carlsen of Norway shared first
place in Group A, both drawing with their respective opponents in the
final round. India's Viswanthan Anand could have had a piece of first
place if he had defeated Vladimir Kramnik today, but had to settle for
a draw against his Russian opponent for the world title later this
year.

Sergey Movesian of Slovakia won Group B by a full point over Nigel
Short of England and Etienne Bacrot of France. All three players drew
their final round games.

Fabiano Caruana of Italy won Group C by a full two points over second
place finishers Parimarjan Negi and Dimitri Reinderman, both of the
Netherlands. That group came down to Caruana's match against Negi
today in which Caruana won in a 61-move Ruy Lopez.
