Chessgames.com Chess Event Description
Hastings 2000/01
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.
