Vassily Ivanchuk Claims 2008 Mtel Masters
Ivanchuk beat Cheparinov in the last round, the other two games drawn
The Ukrainian convincingly won the tournament with 1.5 points ahead of 2nd placed Veselin Topalov and performed well above 3000 FIDE Elo.

This puts an end on Topalov's winning streak in Sofia where he won previous three editions.
