It was a tense contest, where neither player had much of an edge for most of the game. According to the Web site of the chess championship, Kamsky even offered ... Eljanov Easily Wins Final Chess Grand Prix -- The last Grand Prix tournament ended somewhat anticlimactically on Monday in Astrakhan, Russia, as Pavel Eljanov of Russia easily secured first place.
