Moscow Open Rd6: A brawl to the end
2/6/2015 – After six rounds, the previous leaders were unable to maintain their immaculate results, and suddenly nothing is clear. While Inarkiev continues in the lead, he is no longer alone, while Goryachkina is looking at nine others with the same scores, in what will be an open brawl to the end. In the student's event, Dubov defeated Belous with a spectacular sacrificial attack.

In the main Open, Ernesto Inarkiev dropped a half point at 5.5/6, and has already been caught
by top-seed Ian Nepomniachtchi. They will face each other in the seventh round.
20-year-old Ivan Bukavshin (2622) has been recovering from a slip in round two and is at 4.5/6
16-year-old Vladislav Artemiev has been climbing the ranks and is now at 5.0/6 with a 2707
performance. In round six he beat...
...IM Kirill Kuderinov, who is still well on track for a GM norm with a 2635 performance.
After four straight wins, Goryachkina conceded two draws and must now contend with no fewer
than nine others all at 5.0/6. She may still be the favorite, but the title is anyone's now.
Journalist and WGM, Elmira Mirzoeva has had a great event so far and shares the lead with 5.0/6
After a poor start, IM Lilit Galojan has bounced back with three straight wins
In the student's event, Dubov played a spectacular sacrificial attack to defeat Belous. Don't miss this highly entertaining game.
