16-year old GM Magnus Carlsen (2690), GM Peter Heine Nielsen (2651), GM Emanuel Berg (2586), and renowned author IM Stefen Pedersen (2439) participated in a round robin blindfold rapid tournament.In this event, each player faced the other three players twice, once with each color, and the time limit was 25 minutes with 20 seconds added after every move starting at move 1.
Carlsen and Pedersen finished with 4 out of 6 and played a two-game match (again, blindfold+rapid) to see who the winner would be. Carlsen swept the veteran GM 2-0.
The site was the Danish island of Funen.
