In this year, once again our Olympic team wanted to get together for a serious warm-up before the tournament that will be held in Bled at the end of October. Also there is the match Russia vs the Rest of the World coming up soon (at the beginning of September).

The competition was dominated by Alex Grischuk, who was leading for the first 13 rounds. But then he encountered Vladimir Kramnik, who had had difficulty waking up and finding out what was going on. But once he had gathered steam the classical chess world champion was unstoppable. He defeated Grischuk and everyone else to take first place.
