IM Alex Wohl ended his Baku campaign yesterday with a last round loss to Mushfig Askerov. It was his third upset loss to a local Azeri player. Wohl's total tally in the event was 4.5 points. Just a day earlier, in round 8, the Australian faced up to GM Alexander Beliavsky.

Funnily enough, also settling for 4.5 points is the Azeri grandmaster Farhad Tahirov. I suppose that's some sort of consolation.
