Tata Steel Masters 2016 ends on a high

Tata Steel Masters ended with the world champion Magnus Carlsen winning outright by one point. He remained unbeaten for the tournament. With Fabiano Caruana losing to Tomashevsky in the last round. He ties with Ding Liren of China for second place. Hou Yifan drew with Anish Giri, who is currently number 4 in the world, in the final round. Hou was in a much better position according to the computer. Unfortunately she just failed to convert it to a win. All in all an excellent tournament as always, well covered as always on chess24.com .
