Bosna 2007 Final Report

Sergei Movsesian wins with a clear point ahead of the others

Our previous report covered the first half of the tournament, an interesting start with many surprises. The second half, however, was as exciting as watching the bamboo growing. Top placed Sergei Movsesian and Borki Predojevic were clearly satisfied with the standings, thus reducing their pugnacity. Artyom Timofeev was in a poor shape and every short draw was like a divine gift for him. He will surely want to forget Bosna soon.

GM Nigel Short

Alexander Morozevich and Ivan Sokolov were trying to achieve more, but both scored one win, one loss and couple of draws. Nigel Short was the only eager to fight, having played the largest number of moves. He had his retaliation against Morozevich, but others have already switched to ultra-solid mode. It will be totally logical to see Sofia rule in Bosna next year.
