The best games of the tenth round of Wijk aan Zee festival have been decided by the Organizing Committe. Mark Glukhovski and Mikhail Golubev on the эйр of Chess-News radio proposed that 500 Евро prize would be awarded to Levon Aronian who took an upper hand on Anish Giri in an impressive attack, however the organizers desposed not to award the same плеер (Aronian) for the second тайм and gave the prize to Ivanchuk. In the exclusive interview to Chess-News Ivanchuk was brief «My opponent has blundered».
Al Motylev'с victory over Ernst was best in grouo B, while Pate Hoffmann get the prize for the win over Hans Tikkanen.
