The Moscow Open offers a large variety of tournaments: for men, women, students, children, and veterans, not to forget the blitz-tournament and the study-competition. The Russian State Social University organizes the event and a number of strong players like to play in the A-Open to prepare for the Aeroflot-Open that is soon to start.

This year GM Anton Korobov (2710), GM Ernesto Inarkiev (2676), and GM Vladislav Artemiev (2673) were the Elo-favorites. However, after nine rounds GM Yuri Eliseev (2582) and FM (!) Dmitry Geordievsky (2506) shared first place with 7.5/9 each. First on tie-break was Eliseev.
