Congrats to Nigel, but I really wish classical tournament ties weren't decided by speed chess play. Makes no sense at all.
Bummer for Hou Yifan in the blitz playoff. Great tournament for her though. Couldn't believe that endgame against Shirov was winnable, but she did it.
Let's hope she gets invited to tournaments where her young male counterparts get invited -- Giri, Caruana, etc.
real shame to have rapid playoff.
