By this I mean only the redundant bit of information that Magnus Carlsen won the Biel tournament (redundant because he had already clinched clear first with a round to go), not that he won today's game. With no pressure or anything (but rating points) to gain, he played simply and drew comfortably against Caruana to conclude another triumph in his short but remarkable career. Vachier-Lagrave and Shirov took things even more easily, drawing by repetition in only 21 moves (and without having burned much time on the clock - it wasn't that the players had to work their way through some crazy fireworks to split the point).
Morozevich was in a less compromising mood, and he bounced back from yesterday's defeat by grinding Pelletier down in a queen and knight ending. He came up short of Carlsen in the race for first, but it was a very successful tournament for him overall. Between his performance here and in the Russia Championship qualifier in late June Morozevich has gained 31 points and moved up a staggering 27 places on the rating list. (Or at least, it would be staggering if we didn't recall that his official 2694 rating is by far his worst in about eight years, and his drop then was also a deep trough compared to what he had achieved for years prior to that. So this is just regression [or in his case, progression] to the mean, with a vengeance.)
Final Standings:
1. Carlsen 19/30 (on 3-1-0 scoring, on normal scoring he went 7/10)
2. Morozevich 17 (6.5)
3-4. Vachier-Lagrave, Shirov 12 (5)
5. Caruana 10 (4)
6. Pelletier 5 (2.5)
