Tie-break is between the winners did not take place
In Bazna Tournament ended under the title "Royal". Two undisputed leader Magnus Carlsen and Sergey Karjakin in the internal fight in the last round worked very reliably and have completed the game world.
After reading the rules on the official website of the competition, one would have thought that in the case of the division first-place chess players with the same score to bring out the best tie-break. According to the Chess-News, this misunderstanding arose because of incorrect translation rules from Romanian into English. It turned out that tie-break was provided only if all three additional indicators someone will be equal. In the case of Carlsen and Karjakin have been equal to only two:
- number of victories,
- the number of points in between parties share the place.
The third indicator - the ratio Zonneborna-Berger - was slightly higher in Carlsen: 29.75 vs. 29.50 in Karjakin.
