The Gateway to Global Chess

The 25th International Linares-Morelia Chess Tournament was held from Feb 14 through Feb 24, 2008. This has historically been one of the strongest tournaments of the chess year (this year a category 21), with the elite chess players battling for top honors.

World champion Viswanathan Anand won the Super-GM Morelia-Linares 2008 tournament with a draw against Veselin Topalov.  Although four players had a chance to claim a portion of first place , all of the other last round games were also drawn.
