No point in using tie breaks anymore as they vary between similar tournaments and keep changing over time -- even within the same tournament's history. e.g., head-to-head results are generally used first in double round-robin tournaments in case of two way ties. However, in 2005, this was not done at Linares and Kasparov was given the title unfairly (some would argue) over Topalov.


What date is the tournament? Isn't it soon?--Sonjaaa 08:25, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)

This year's edition runs from February 22 (first round February 23) to March 10; players are Kasparov, Anand, Topalov, Leko, Adams, Vallejo Pons and Kasimdzhanov. If you think it's worth putting this in the article, feel free. --Camembert
