Hastings 2000/01
Compiled by Phony Benoni

The 76th Hastings Christmas Congress was held from December 28, 2000-January 6, 2001, and featured these players:

Levon Aronian Sergei Beshukov Klaus Bischoff Stuart Conquest Lubomir Ftacnik Daniel Gormally Harold James Plaskett Krishnan Sasikiran Jonathan Speelman Matthew James Turner.

Sasikiran led most of the way, Conquest finally catching him at the last minute aided by a seventh-round win over Ftacnik. Matthew Turner's 3rd= finish represented his second GM norm, and featured a victory over GM Aronian. Plaskett's result was poor, but his games were uniformly interesting.
