Notes
The game that took the title.
Henriquez Villagra is a Chilean grandmaster and no one's idea of a soft final round. Level on points at the top going into the last game, with white, a quiet draw was the comfortable option — and would have left everything to tie-breaks that were not certain to fall his way.
He played for the win instead. The tournament finished with two players on 7.5/9, and the tie-break went to him.
