Naiditsch wins the Baku Chess International

Arkadij Naiditsch, playing Black, beat Nigel Short in the ninth round to win the Baku Chess International tournament.

About

I feel I should start this like the guy at the AA meeting: "My name's Roger and I'm a chess player". Actually, I'm probably quite a good one, I've won a few tournaments and beaten a grandmaster, but, like all of us, I'm woefully inconsistent.

What I definitely am is a lucky one: I got to travel, I had good results in the Paris and Johannesburg Opens, I played in the Bolivian blitz championships, I've visited the best chess club in the world (at Samaipata in the Codo de los Andes, in case you're interested), and I've even played the World Champion... I feel some stories coming on!
