5/11/2017 – The Russian Team Championship ended predictably in a clean sweep for Siberia-Sirius, winning all its matches with its unparalleled lineup (Kramnik, Giri, Mamedyarov, etc). The Women’s event was a far tighter affair, won by Yugra (Ushenina) over ShSM Legacy Square Capital (Kosteniuk), coming down to their individual match. Here is a large illustrated report by Alex Yermolinsky.

5/6/2017 – Alex Yermolinsky's first report on the Premier League of the Russian Team Championship starts with "One look at the lineup of Siberia-Sirius makes me think some kind of rating restriction rule has to be established for club competitions. Kramnik, Mamedyarov, Giri, Nepo, Grischuk, Andreikin, are you kidding me? Korobov and Khismatullin as .... 'alternates'?" Even Karpov is playing. Enjoy this report with great games and analyses by Alex Yermolinsky, and exclusive high-res photos by Eugeny Atarov.

5/9/2016 – After winning the Candidates Tournament in Moscow Sergey Karjakin took a break from playing but at the Russian Team Championship in Sochi he is back at the board. However, the World Champion Challenger does not seem to be in top form yet. In round six he was convincingly outplayed by Peter Svidler and in round seven he almost lost against Vladimir Kramnik.

4/14/2013 – It was close, both in the open and the women's sections, with match point ties for first, and both winners taking gold by just 1.5 game points. Key was Alexander Grischuk's win on the black side of an instructive Spanish against Ian Nepomniatchi, while in the women's a topsy turvy win by Ekatrina Atalik against Alexandra Kosteniuk did not change the final result.
