Tournament over. Morozewich finished in the first place in 'blindfold'
and 'combined'. Anand was first in 'rapid'.

yes exciting end to tournament, Moro and Anand come equal first.
moro won blindfold section, it says this at amber web site ...
'The Russian scored an incredible 9,5 out of 11, a new record in the
history of the Amber tournaments'
He won by clear 3 points, pretty amazing. Anand won rapid section by 2.5
pts. Anand lost no games in rapid, 8pts from 11 games.
Vallejo came outright 3rd, how about that, no one saw that coming!
That is now the 5th time anand has won amber, and 3rd time for moro, from
just 4 appearances.
