   ……. This year, four players tied for first, and the Russian grandmaster Vladimir Potkin was declared the winner in a tie-breaker system that led to controversy. In previous years, playoffs decided who earned the World Cup spots. This year, the organizers used formulas based on the results, including one derived from the quality of each player’s opponents.
