Ponomariov catches Nakamura, loses tiebreak

The American GM Hikaru Nakamura had led the tournament from the start, and
looked like a slam-dunk winner. But in the last round he drew his game, while
former FIDE world champion Ruslan Ponomariov won his, and both finished at 6.5/9
points. Nakamura went on to win the blitz tiebreak games 2-0 and was thus the
winner. We bring you games and final standings in our final illustrated report.
