| Russian Championship Superfinal (Women) (2015) |
|
The 65th Russian Women's Championship Superfinal was played 9-20 August 2015 in the Youth Palace 'Megapolis Sport' in the eastern city of Chita, Zabaykalsky Krai, Russia, not far from Mongolia and China. Rest day: August 15. The line-up featured most of the top names, including defending champion Gunina and Kateryna Lagno, who made her debut after switching from Ukraine. Time control: 90 minutes for 40 moves, then 30 more minutes to the end of the game, with a 30 second increment from move 1. No agreed draws allowed before move 40. Total prize fund (men & women): 8 million roubles (~$127,000), with 530,000 roubles (~$8,400) to the woman champion. If players tied for first, a playoff would be held (two 15+10 Rapid games and eventually an Armageddon). Aleksandra Goryachkina (at age 16) won with 8/11. Bodnaruk took 2nd place on tiebreak (more games with Black) ahead of Kosteniuk. Elo 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2

|
| Aug-09-15 | | Harvestman: Looks like a strong lineup here. Should be some interesting games. |
|
| Aug-09-15 | | Harvestman: Defending champion Gunina starts off with a loss. |
|
| Aug-09-15 | | siggemannen: Gunina been "sucking" ever since that loss against Pia in the world champs :(
Perhaps it's time to step back and get a new coach or something |
|
| Aug-09-15 | | notyetagm: Gunina lost today against Goryachkina because of <WEAK PAWNS>: she lost her b3-,c4-, and e4-pawns for no compensation and simply had to resign. 29 ... ♗e4-c2!

click for larger viewPlay over her game against Goryachkina and watch her pawns "fall like ripe fruit", in the words of Fischer. CHESS24 -> https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-t... |
|
| Aug-09-15 | | notyetagm: A chess24 Facebook commenter points out a win Gunina missed in her loss: "Yikes. Gunina missed a winning tactic, 28. fxg7, 29. Bxe4, 30. Qh4 attacking Be4 and Rd8, just before quickly going downhill" https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-t...

| Aug-09-15 | | siggemannen: <notyetgm>what about 28.fxg7 Be7? |
|
| Aug-12-15 | | Harvestman: Looks like Gunina is on a tear after her first round loss. Three wins in a row gets her right back in contention. |
|
| Aug-12-15 | | alphamaster: Last year Gunina started with 2 losses then won the next 7 games and the tournament. |
|
| Aug-12-15 | | Harvestman: Goryachkina wins again to maintain her lead. |
|
| Aug-12-15 | | siggemannen: Gunina makes Topalov look like Ulf Andersson |
|
| Aug-13-15 | | Beholder: <siggemannen: Gunina makes Topalov look like Ulf Andersson> Lol! Good one. |
|
| Aug-13-15 | | Harvestman: Six decisive games this round, and the leaders losing to bunch everyone up. A good day for the older guard like Lahno and Kosteniuk (I didn't want to call the old). |
|
| Aug-13-15 | | Nerwal: Very strange round. Girya lost an endgame where she was a clear pawn up; Kosteniuk played a +20 moves preparation leading to a comfortable endgame for Black which Gunina then made a point to lose convincingly. Goryachkina played a dubious gambit, got no compensation for the pawn after a dozen moves and lost in a linear way. |

 | | HeMateMe: Odd seeing Lahno on team Russia; she had been a Uke for so long. |
|
| Aug-13-15 | | AsosLight: With your logic it's odd that US team even exists. Actually it is shocking that USA exist altogether. |
|
Aug-14-15
| | HeMateMe: But, it's not shocking that you're an Aso. |
|

 | | perfidious: <HMM> Amongst that kibitzer's other attractive traits....<asholight> be his handle. |
|
| Aug-14-15 | | BUNA: <HeMateMe> Rumour has it that she's the girlfriend of a russian super-gm and therefore had to switch federations. |
|
Aug-14-15
| | HeMateMe: I wasn't making a value judgment on whether or not she should switch federations, only that it was odd not to see her in team Ukraine photos on Chessbase. She was born in Lvov. "On February 25, 2009 she married Robert Fontaine, French chess grandmaster and TV reporter." Fontaine doesn't sound very Russian to me, but I'll take you're word for it. How badly did Kosteniuk take her husband to the cleaners in the divorce settlement, I wonder? older men never realize they need a pre nup agreement when marrying a younger woman. A mistake that gets repeated over and over. |
|
| Aug-14-15 | | sonia91: <HeMateMe: Fontaine doesn't sound very Russian to me> Lagno and Fontaine divorced (just to point out this) |
|
Aug-14-15
| | HeMateMe: oh, ok. I do have to get onto TMZ more often. Has she gone shopping yet with Caitlyn Jenner? |
|
Aug-16-15
| | HeMateMe: just looking at some of these games, I think Gunina is a superior tactician, but Kosteniuk has a better grasp of positional chess. |
