Jun-23-13 | | Pedro Fernandez: Good morning! This game has been quite complicated. Black rook is very active and behind the white queen pawns, so there is a bit chance to make a draw but this ending is difficult. |
|
Jun-23-13 | | MrSpock: Congratulations Boris Gelfand :-) |
|
Jun-23-13 | | botvinnik64: Gelfand wins the tournament!!! |

 | | plang: I'm a little surprised White didn't play on - I think he had some practical chances |
|
Jun-23-13 | | talisman: wow......congrats Boris and thank you chessgames...this was fun. |
|
Jun-23-13 | | DcGentle: Draw agreed and rightly so, because White had NO chances to promote any of his pawns. Well played by Carlsen in the end, but Mamedyarov missed his chance to win. |
|
Jun-23-13 | | shmu12: draw agreed and boris is the sole winner of tal memorial 2013!!!a surprise? |
|
Jun-23-13 | | Doniez: Congrats to Gelfand! |
|
Jun-23-13 | | optimal play: I'm assuming Mamedyarov offered the draw, which perhaps is not so surprising considering how little time he had left. |
|
Jun-23-13 | | MrSpock: First full point for Moro? |
|
Jun-23-13 | | Doniez: Let's move to Fabiano vs Andreikin |
|
Jun-23-13 | | DcGentle: Let's switch to Nakamura - Morozevich, if possible! |
|
Jun-23-13 | | jamesmaskell: Probably agreed but there was an easy triple repetition there. Great to see Gelfand win the tournament alone. |
|
Jun-23-13 | | brankat: With 2 passers Mamedyarov could have kept on playing. But, apparently he was in a serious time trouble. One minute for 6 moves. |
|
Jun-23-13 | | Pedro Fernandez: The advance of white pawns is really hard; Mamedyarod concedes the draw. |
|
Jun-23-13 | | chessdgc2: Thanks chessgames.com! Do we need to stay on for another games? That was a fairly quick draw.... |
|
Jun-23-13 | | JoergWalter: morozevich is in for a kill |
|
Jun-23-13 | | zluria: Well, the press conference is over. Carlsen looked tired and dejected; Mamedyarov looked apologetic. |
|
Jun-23-13 | | talisman: yep...Moro winning............. |
|
Jun-23-13 | | Doniez: Caruana drew right now. Not too bad for the Italian GM. He is very close to 2800 |
|
Jun-23-13 | | MrSpock: Nakamura once more misses the moment to resign. |
|
Jun-23-13 | | CapitanJowy: Congratulations Gelfand and thanks to chessgames.com |
