Bologan with the Chess960 Open
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1187462114.shtml


   With a last round win over then-leader Vassily Ivanchuk - and with the
   black pieces, no less - Viorel Bologan has won the so-called FiNex
   Open Chess960. What this means is that he'll be in the final match
   next year against Aronian, or involved in the gang of four, if Mainz
   makes a tradition out of this year's arrangement. There's a good
   report [1]here, which includes Kamsky's 8-move win over Mamedyarov and
   Ivanchuk's 12-move win over Bacrot. (Yes, Bacrot actually managed to
   participate in the open along with his play in the championships.)
