Russian Championship
Compiled by Phony Benoni
--*--

The championships of the Soviet Union were generally among the strongest events of the year, outshining most international tournament both in strength and depth. Even after the dissolution of the USSR the championships of the individual republics remained impressive.

A case in point was the 1996 Russian Championship held in Elisa from October 15-27. This 52-player, 11-round Swiss featured 34 GMs and 12 IMS with an average rating of 2530.

The following report appeared in <The Week In Chess>, 104, November 4, 1996:

<"The Russian Chess Championships ended in a victory for Alexander Khalifman. He played solid if not especially spectacular chess to record his best result in recent years. Alexey Dreev who led after 7 rounds drew out the rest of the event and was overhauled in the end. The last round saw brief draws in the top pairings, Dvoirys-Khalifman and Dreev-Fominyh but the players who needed wins seemed content simply to protect their standings. The prize money was excellent being around $100,000 and a car courtesy of Kalmykian and FIDE President Kirsan Iljumzhinov, who has held the Russian Championship in his capital, Elista. for the last three years.

Some of the most impressive chess came from Evgeny Sveshnikov but he completely self-destructed in the last few rounds losing his last three games. Dolmatov, Epishin and Tiviakov were all well off the pace.">
