Svidler still leads at the Russian Superfinals

Svidler keeps the lead at the Russian Chess Championships. But the news was that Morozevich outplayed Jakovenko. A player to watch is Nikita Vitiugov, who is quietly beating the weaker players(unfortunately 2600 is weak in Russia in such championships!), and drawing the stronger players.

If you think Moro only plays those come-back-from-dead openings and shocking moves, think again. Take a look at this game where he displays amazingly innovative technique to beat a top class Grand Master that Jakovenko is.



Leaders

Svidler 4
Vitiugov 3.5
Morozevich, Lastin, Alekseev, Timofeev 3
