Corsica Masters 2014
Compiled by Tabanus

The 18th Corsica Masters was a 16-player knockout tournament with Rapid time control played in Bastia, Corsica, France, 19-22 October 2014 (the final was played in Ajaccio, Corsica). The field consisted of the top 14 finishers of the Oscaro Open (Bastia 18-19 October, 9 rounds, 15 min + 3 sec), and two invited players (Anand and Yifan Hou). The four rounds had two games each, plus tiebreak games (if necessary). Time control: 15 minutes for the whole game, with 3 seconds added per move from move 1. If 1-1, then two Blitz games (3 min + 2 sec), and if still tied, an Armageddon game (this happened once). Chief arbiter: Jean-Philippe Orson. Number of games played: 41.

Yifan Hou beat Fedorchuk 2-0 in the final.
