Let's post a topic here as well Smile

The Russian Superfinals is taking place right now! 12 players, 11 rounds, everyone plays everyone once. Right now 9 rounds have finished and round 10 is underway. After a slow start of 0.5/2, Morozevich scored 6 wins in a row(!), including wins against Svidler, Grischuk, and the current number two Tomashevsky. In round 9 he finally lost again, but his score of 6.5/9 is still enough to lead the field. The current standings:
