Aeroflot 2009 Final Round Results & Final Standings

Finally posting round 9 pairings, will post results as they come in, I imagine there are already some games done. Just a bad couple of days, will post the round 6 Kamsky-Topalov draw, rest day today, Kamsky needs a win and a draw to keep in it...2 straight wins would give him the chance to face GM Anand for the World Title, I can't imagine the pressure on these guys. Some interesting results.. With GM Eltaj Safarli losing his last round game vs GM Vsdim Zvjaginsev, GM Wesley So will take the Junior prize. Also, IM Tatiana Kosintseva assured of a GM norm after Round 8, took a draw vs GM Alexej Tomashevsky, overall, as I stated in a previous post, I was impressed with her play, she kept on rolling to a fine tournament, finishing with 5.5/9.0 (+1.0) in a great field of players! In Group A2, The US was represented will with GM Melikset Khachiyan tying for first with IM Alexandre Danin of Russia, although it appears IM Danin will take it on tiebreaks, but with both finishing 7.0/9.0 (+2.5) both had a great tournament.
