16.07.2009 - Beautiful tournament played at the San Sebastian July 7 to 16, among many attractions, the return of Anatoly Karpov!
Unfortunately for the fans now old former world champion Karpov results were not the height of his fame, age accounts for all, and so close Anatoly last with just 1 point and half to 9 and no victory. To appreciate, however, the desire and the courage to go still in the game.

The Table 
As you can see from the final classification, Ponomariov and Nakamura shared the first place and the regulation provided two play-off final zip to the winner. As you know, Nakamura flash is very strong, considering his youth and the poor has not been Ponomariov will settle for second place, a dry finished the tournament 2-0.
viewed on YouTube here and below are two videos of the playoff.
Nakamura has played more slowly in the early stages, but much faster later in the game. Anyway, first decide on a place play-off with lightning does not strike me the best possible solution.
