J.Polgar and V.Kramnik © official site.
Two draws in the final round of the Unive Crown group have left matters as they were. So former World Champion Vladimir Kramnik finished first ahead of Anish Giri. A score of 4½/6 was sufficient for Kramnik to gain enough points to get his virtual rating back over the 2800 mark.
