Le Quang Liem wins Aeroflot 2011

Le Quang Liem has done it again winning the Aeroflot Open for the second consecutive year. After losing to Ivan Cheparinov in round 8, he came back with a solid draw against Rauf Mamedov to reach 6.5 points.

Surprisingly Cheparinov lost his game. Two other grandmasters, Nikita Vitiugov and Evgeny Tomashevsky, managed to win their games and join Quang Liem at the top. The Vietnamese better tie-break gave him the trophy.
