Poikovsky finale: Everyone draws, four tie for first

   The event was mostly hard fought, but not today. All five games were
   drawn, three of them quickly (replayable [1]here), and so
   [2]yesterday's relative standings carry over to today. Here are the
   final standings, with TPRs in parentheses:
   1-4. Rublevsky (2770), Jakovenko (2769), Gashimov (2768), Shirov
   (2765) 5.5
   5. Wang Hao (2734) 5
   6. Bologan (2649) 4
   7-10. Sutovsky (2615), Inarkiev (2613), Onischuk (2613), Volokitin
   (2613) 3.5
   Next big event: [3]Biel (starting the 20th). (Incidentally, Onischuk
   is playing there, too. Somehow he has managed to get invited to Foros,
   Poikovsky and Biel - other non-2700s should hire his manager or find
   out how he does it.)
