Wang Hao

.

Wang Hao of China wins Biel 2012 ! !  Congratulations ! ! !

.

Hao won his last round game against Giri.  As the two were in contention for first place, this was an important game. Although Carlsen was in the lead going into the last round (Round 10), he drew.

.

So – Wang Hao won undisputed first place.  Quite an accomplishment in view of the high quality of competition.
