Corsica Masters 2009
Mark Crowther - Monday 2nd November 2009
Viswanathan Anand defeated Anatoly Karpov 3.5-0.5 in the rapid match which took place in Bastia and Ajaccio 31st October and 2nd November 2009. Karpov really does have to do at least some remedial work on his game if he is to play any more of these exhibitions. At the moment they're close to being a waste of time.
The Open tournament in Bastia was won by Ivan Sokolov on tie-break from Vladimir Malaniuk and Hicham Hamdouchi after all scored 7.5/9.
