Russian Superfinals - Women
The results of this tournament are very hard to get. But anyway, here are some highlights of the second round of the women's section.
Tatiana Kosintseva seems to have started her rampage with a win over Olga Girya. But her sister Nadezhda, lost quite unexpectedly to Elena Tairova. Tairova is no pushover herself, but she had a bad patch tournament a while ago. Its a good sign probably that it has not continued.
In other games, Shadrina beat Matveeva in a very long game lasting 84 moves and Pogonina defeated Korbut in a miniature.
Anyone volunteering to translate the official site that is Russian ?
Any idea about Kosteniuk's activities ?
