AuN1: How sad. One of my very favourite players in the history of the game; beautiful chess and colourful personality. Always enjoyed following his career, and his interviews/analyses were among the best. I will miss seeing him in action, however the chess world has benefited so much from ... |

AuN1: It's a shame they're finding it necessary to do these tie-breakers; giri is the deserved champion, having vanquished mamedyarov and kramnik, the next two highest finishers behind carlsen and himself. |
