Fabiano Caruana survived a scare against Hou Yifan in the final round to win the Reykjavik Chess Festival 2012. Hou missed big chances in a mutual time scramble on the run up to move 40 but even had chances after that. The game ended in a draw as did the top four boards. Caruana will gain a few ratings points to help maintain his new top 10 status winning with 7.5/9. 7 players finished on 7/9 Ivan Sokolov, David Navara, Gawain Jones, Boris Avrukh, Hou Yifan (who didn't gain that many rating points), Sebastien Maze and Henrik Danielsen.
