Tournament News:
Nigel Short recorded his best victory in a long time,
finishing in clear first with 6½ points out of 9. The decisive game
of the tournament was Short's victory against Judit Polgar in round
8. Judit still managed to finish in 2nd with 5½ points, primarily
thanks to starting the tournament with three victories in a row.
World Championship contender, Peter Leko, managed to stage a brief
recovery to finish in 3rd,
despite losing to Peter Lutz who is rated nearly 150 points lower than he
is.

various others at the top. Here is Rod's winning team:
