Morozevich loses, Tomashevsky half point behind

28 December 2007 11:37 PM | Last modified: 23:42

It had to go wrong at some point. Today, and with the White pieces, the steam locomotive called Morozevich was put to a halt by Dreev. Moro probably played for a win too long, and this is only to his credit of course. After defeating Amonatov, Tomashevsky has narrowed the gap with the leader to a half point and so the last two rounds of the Russian Championships will be quite tense. Tairova leads the women section, also by a half point. New fragments.

    Kans gemist Peter, “positioneel genot” was bijna het eerste neologisme van het nieuwe jaar…

Got something to say?
