Corus 2009.
During the Corus tournament, representatives from the main sponsor Corus, as well as from the organiser, brought up the issue of the financial crisis on several occasions. Responding to their own rhetoric question about organising the chess festival in such difficult times, the answer was a resounding YES!
Thank you!
And thank you also for confirming to continue the Corus Chess festival tradition until at least 2013!
As you know Magnus went "all in" as black against Wang Yue in the last round. He declined a draw offer after 18 moves and developed a strong initiative on the queenside, but subsequently blundered several times in the continuation.
In a long interview with ICC chessblog, he explained in more detail the development of the game and how he lost in the end to take shared 5th overall with 7/13 points.
Congratulations to Karjakin for taking sole first place in Corus A.
And congratulations also to B and C group winners Caruana and Wesley So!
