   The tournament was a back-and-forth battle between Michael Adams and
   Loek van Wely most of the way, bad after the latter's catastrophic
   loss to Gawain Jones in the penultimate round, it was Adams' event to
   lose. He didn't, holding off Ivan Sokolov in the last round to win the
   tournament.
   Final Standings:
   1. Adams 8.5/11
   2-3. I. Sokolov, van Wely 7.5
   4-6. Jones, Werle, Smeets 6.5
   7-8. L'Ami, Timman 5
   9. Wells 4
   10. Speelman 3.5
   11. McNab 3
   12. Houska 2.5
