Today's final round robin rapid section with 20 minutes per side per game will settle which of Fressinet and Hammer gets the place for next month's Norway Masters

Carlsen's second Hammer won the wild card place.

Good for Norwegian chess that Hammer qualified rather than Fressinet

I would like to see an English player get the wild card for the London Chess Classic - an all English qualifier, or a match between Adams and Howell would be interesting
