In the Premier League ShSm-64, which yesterday was in the lead lost its last-round match against SPbChFed on the last board (Boris Savchenko, 2655, lost to Zahar Efimenko, all other games were drawn). Co-leader Tomsk-400 defeated Eurasia-Logistic on board five (Farrukh Amonatov, 2648, defeated Andrey Rychagov, 2530, all other games were drawn). This put Tomsk in clear first, two points ahead of the rest. Since Ural trashed TPS – which has Ivanchuk, Volokitin and Tregubov on its team – and Economist-SGSEU-1 did the same to M.Chigorin CC. three teams finished equal second on match points: 9.0/14. The board points decided, and there ShSM-64 was half a point in front of Ural, which iteself was half a point better than Economist.
In the Higher League Polytechnik, which was leading by two points before the final round, lost its match against ZAO "OMZ". But since its nearest rival, Yugra, drew its encounter with Etude-Contact, Polytechnik emerged the winner. Yesterday's third-place team, Economist-SGSEU-2, pulled off a 5.0-1.0 win over Gostinaya Dvorkovicha to catch Yugra on board points and overtake it on match points. That put Economist in second place.
