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 C Conquest;
Lubomir Ftacnik;
Daniel Gormally;
Harold James Plaskett;
Krishnan Sasikiran;
Jonathan Speelman;
Matthew 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. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 Pts
