That's good to see, Kramnik winning. He may not be back to full strength
yet, but I'm glad one of the best GMs isn't out for good. The win is a bit
diminished by the fact that there were so few rounds and by the absence of
Topolov and Anand and other greats, but it was an important one for him.
Besides he did have some good competition I think using tiebreaks is the
fairest practical way to break ties, but that's just my opinion.

Biggiest disappointment was Aronian. Happens to everybody, I guess.

Very short tournament, many short draws, simply a boring tournament.

Certainly tiebreaks would enliven the competition.
