Kramnik: over 2900 performance in Moscow

[Javier]

Only two players above 50%, although Kramnik did stand out: he won 4 games and lost none.

Shirov lost 2 but won 3. His second place was well deserved and he remains one of the most fighting players that the chess world has ever seen.

 

Here's one of Kramnik's victories in this event:

 

 

 

I have to say that Kramnik's game against Mamedyarov was rather unclear and anything could have happened... but that's another story
