Boris Gelfand wins Odessa ACP World Rapid
25.05.2009 – It was an exciting – perhaps nail-biting is a better word – final
round of the 3rd ACP World Rapid Cup, organised by the PIVDENNY
Bank and the ACP
in Odessa, Ukraine. The two most experienced players of the event (after Karpov) faced each
other. After two draws Peter Svidler produced two winning positions, only to
mess them up against Boris Gelfand, who won the event. Big pictorial report. |
