| May-02-15 | | jamesmaskell: <thegoodanarchist> Sadly not, they are the names we have already heard of in the European Club Cup like Malakhite. Like most national leagues, the clubs are domestic, the players are not. 4NCL, Bundesliga, Italian Champs all have foreign players. |
|
| May-02-15 | | jamesmaskell: Actually, hold that. Translated, we have a "The Bronze Horsemen" team (Led by Wojtazsek) and SHSM is now "SHSM Our Heritage". Says playchess... |

 | | Natalia Pogonina: <jamesmaskell: Actually, hold that. Translated, we have a "The Bronze Horsemen" team (Led by Wojtazsek)> The name of the St. Petersburg team is "Bronze Horseman": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronz... |
|
May-02-15
 | | Penguincw: Site: http://chess-results.com/tnr171712..... Aside for Shirov-Kramnik 1-0, Jobava-Zvjaginsev 1-0 was also important, as in both these games, the white player's win propelled their live rating over 2700. |

Translated, we have a "The Bronze Horsemen" team (Led by Wojtazsek)> The name of the St. Petersburg team is "Bronze Horseman":> OK, an "A" for effort then to those players. The result is rather pedestrian, though. |

| | Penguincw: With Siberia leading 2 1/2-1 1/2, and having their 2 remaining players (both super-GMs) play white, and be rated 90 and 175 points ahead of their opponents, it seems like a sure match win, right? https://twitter.com/chess24com/stat... Well, no. Anything is still possible. |
|
May-03-15
 | | HeMateMe: Shirov is Latvian--he's an 'honorary' Russian? Maybe if your parents are Russian you can still play in this event? I wonder if Gata Kamsky has ever been invited? That would be interesting. |
|
May-03-15
| | Penguincw: < HeMateMe: ... Maybe if your parents are Russian you can still play in this event? > What about Wang Yue or Dominguez?
< I wonder if Gata Kamsky has ever been invited? That would be interesting. > He's actually playing: Russian Team Championship (2015)/Gata Kamsky. Wait, are you and I on the same page? |
|
May-03-15
| | HeMateMe: I haven't looked real closely. I guess it's a club championship, and not a closed, nationalist sort of thing. Good for Gata, I hope he does well. |

|
| May-04-15 | | Karne: If Aronian was to be pitched against the masterful Stein, one could envision that such an encounter wouldn't last a second in the triumphant minds of mankind, but an infinite number of millenniums. |

| | Penguincw: Wow, Round 4 showing some more dominance. It was the first time this tournament so far that: - Each match has been decided by 2 points or more
and
- All 4 winning teams did not lose any games. |
|
| May-05-15 | | Strelets: <Natalia Pogonina> A fitting name for a team representing Petersburg. |
|
May-06-15
| | Penguincw: One round left, and the Siberia has a chance to finish the tournament perfect as they (2726) will face Yamal (2422). Meanwhile, the other team at 1 match point, Rook (2550) will face Malakhit (2699); Rook has a 1.5 point lead on game points. |
|
| May-07-15 | | Clodhopper: <Penguincw: He's actually playing: Russian Team Championship (2015)/Gata Kamsky.> Wait, I heard that Kamsky didn't want to compete in team competitions anymore, and that was why he wasn't on the US team at Tsaghkadzor. Now he's playing in the Russian team championship tournament??? |
|
| May-07-15 | | dangerhump: <clodhopper> what he meant was; he didn't want to go to Tsaghkadzor where he would have been Board 1 and lost a ton of rating. I suspect we'll see him down the road for USA where Naka & So hold down boards 1 & 2 and he can play on 3 or 4 (depending on Robson's progress) |
|
| May-07-15 | | jphamlore: Speaking of younger players, Artemiev is struggling a bit this event, after playing very strong in last year's event and also at the Moscow Open 2015. |
|
| May-08-15 | | et1: where are the full results ? |
|
| May-08-15 | | sonia91: <et1> http://www.chess-results.com/tnr171... |
|
| May-08-15 | | et1: <sonia91> thanks ! |
|
| May-12-15 | | Mr. V: Shirov beats Kramnik, who beats Kamsky, who beats Shirov. All three of these games are great. |
