: Created:31 Oct 2013 , by

Karpov, ex-world champion and an all-time great, won with 11 points, two ahead of runner-up Etienne Bacrot and three beyond Vassily Ivanchuk. 

Anatoly is an evergreen performer bucking the trend for ever and ever younger winners of major tournaments. He gives hope to all of us old-timers trying to bluff our way through tough games.
