GM Mikhail Antipov, incidentally one of the players who chose to play without a face mask, has left the Russian Championship Superfinal as he tested positive for COVID-19. Points scored by and against him remain in the crosstable.
Ian Nepomniachtchi beats Sergey Karjakin in just 2 hours to not only take the sole lead in the Russian Championship but climb above Ding Liren to world no. 3 with a personal best 2794.9 live rating!
16-year-old Leya Garifullina is the first player to avoid defeat to 19-year-old Polina Shuvalova, who now leads the Women's Russian Championship with 6.5/7!
14.Nf6+!?? is just a typical day at the office for Valentina Gunina!
