5 April 2010
Hello everyone!
3 rounds to go at the Russian Team Championships. Tomorrow Monday April 5 will be a key match: the Moscow team (Kosteniuk, Kovalevskaya, Gunina, Matveeva, Girya) will play the Giprorechtrans team (Zhukova, Munguntuul, Zaiats, Vasilevich, Fominykh).
Since there is an odd number of teams, each team does not play a round, and that’s the case of Giprorechtrans, who is “off” the last round. So if tomorrow, Giprotechtrans wins, they will be able to solidify their edge. If they lose, the fight for first place will be open to 2-3 teams.
