The end of December 2009 will be remembered in the Netherlands due to the wunderkind from Ukraine. He comfortably won this prestigious tournament ahead of a host of useful grandmasters. Making, on his way, his second GM norm with a performance at 2741.
His victims included Chadaev (2567), Spike Ernst (2587) and Deviatkin (2608). Believe me, it won't be long before he gets the title.

During the tournament there was a dual between Dutch legend Jan Timman GM (2581) and the up-and-coming 15-year old Robin Van Kampen IM (2456) was played. Timman's experience led to him winning 2.5-1.5, including victories in the first and last games.
