Amber 2002
Das traditionelle Amberturnier mit der faszinierenden Kombination von
Schnell- und Blindschach war auch dieses Jahr wieder ein großartiges
Spektakel. Lange Zeit sah Shirov wie der sichere Sieger aus, bevor er
auf der Zielgeraden von Morozevich überrundet wurde. Dieser gewann
auch die Blindwertung mit 9 aus 11! Bester Schnellschachspieler war Gelfand
mit 7,5 aus 11. Daneben zeigten auch Leko und Ivanchuk gute Leistungen.
Enttäuschend hingegen der Weltmeister Kramnik, der lediglich auf
Rang 8 kam. Anscheinend tut ihm die lange Turnierabstinenz nicht gut.
Remisquote: 42,4 %
