Bilbao: Final round games and post-event ratings
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1221532900.shtml


   I reported on the dramatic final round of [1]Bilbao, won by Veselin
   Topalov, [2]here, but hadn't yet presented the games with my comments.
   [3]I now rectify that situation.
   As for the post-event ratings, which will almost surely be the ones to
   appear in the official FIDE list October 1 (but without the decimal
   points), here's the top 8, which includes all the Bilbao participants:
   1. Topalov 2790.6
   2. Morozevich 2787
   3. Carlsen 2786.1
   4. Ivanchuk 2785.6
   5. Anand 2783.2
   6. Kramnik 2771.9
   7. Aronian 2756.8
   8. Radjabov 2751.5
