Biel 2000
Compiled by suenteus po 147

The grandmaster edition of the 33rd Biel Chess Festival was a category XVI event held from July 24th to August 4th, 2000. Svidler, Gelfand, Van Wely, and Ponomariov were invited to compete with two of Switzerland's best grandmasters in double rounds. The talented Svidler won big time with +5 at the final. Good on him. Some people don't know how to make proper crosstables, so we're stuck with what we have.
