	MindZine - Chess News: Linares
		Leko is, as one of the possible future challengers for some kind of world title, and Grischuk may be the hottest talent on the planet, and will now get his first chance to see if his brawling brand of youthful optimism can work at in the upper atmosphere.

		Leko gave it his best shot and pressed Karpov good and hard but the old master of defence went wandering with his king again and managed to plug all the holes and hang on.

		Leko is four years older than Ponomariov, and he looks as though he is now ready for a joust with the big boys in the next few months.

		Finally, the joint winners (Leko took the trophy on tie-break) will both be pleased to chalk up a Linares title ahead of such a field, though there were few pointers as to which should prevail against the other when their reunification match gets under way.
