Ruslan Ponomariov goes through the metal detector to enter the playing venue
His opponent physicist Vladimir Malakhov
Start of game one of the tiebreak...
... which Malakhov won in 66 moves
Ruslan trying to understand how it happened
The final position in that game
Malakhov won the first game with fine endgame technique – replay it and learn! In the second encounter it was Ponomariov who turned a bad position in a Grünfeld into an equal endgame which he proceeded to win – replay it and learn! He went on to win the third game, and in the fourth Malakhov blundered – Ponomariov was in the final.
It's all over, Malakhov is out, Ponomariov in the final
